Evening Standard -UK 12/3/09 "..a pleasure to flick through. The biographical facts have a juicily gothic feel. The family and studio portraits of Bette meanwhile are a revelation." San Jose Mercury News, 11/25 "...what makes the book impossible to put down are the photos - gorgeous period images beautifully integrated into the text." Rage Monthly, November 2009 "This lush must-have coffee table book is big, luxurious and full of fascinating descriptions and stories befitting the Queen of Hollywood's Golden Age. Gee, what a great holiday gift this would make!" 15 Minutes Magazine, Jan/Feb 2011 "a keeper: the text is crisp; the photos are magnificent. Lots of delicious anecdotes..."
