Reviews

A very good biography...covers a lot of ground...Pascoe's research in thorough...a good read...[Carroll] led an eventful life, and the author does a terrific job laying it all out in detail. There's a good balance of her private life and her professional work. The photos are another plus for the book; they are an outstanding mix of portraits, scene stills and rare candids. --Classic Images
