Very thorough and excellent book!!

I enjoy the audiobook very much! It’s been my companion over the last few days as I listen to the background so so many of my favorite, silent era, stars, and then some that I’ve never even heard of before…… excellent! I thought the author did it very good job conducting interviews and connecting with each of the former stars. Also, I thought the audio performer/narrator did a very good job, and was enjoyable to listen to, and not obnoxious as many can be. I only wish that they would make the Mae Murray; “the girl with bee stung lips” available on audiobook.
