Reviews

""Interesting and informative...An impressive amount of detail on Roman's early years and beyond; the book is packed with information...The author skillfully weaves quotes from the actress herself into the narrative. I learned a great deal about Roman's life; as much as the book is a portrait of her success, it's also a somewhat brutal recounting of just how hard the movie acting life could be, with endless casting 'near misses'...Anyone interested in the actress and her career will find the book of value.""-Laura's Miscellaneous Musings
