About this product

Product Information

As today's supermarket tabloids and celebrity TV shows prove repeatedly, nothing intrigues the public more than a good, juicy scandal. Such exposes create feeding frenzies by pandering to our collective fascination with the excesses and misfortunes of celebrities. These revelations of bad, excessive behavior have become a mainstay of American pop culture. But typically in reporting such sensational news, the tabloids and TV are constrained by time constraints to provide only short takes - quick bytes merely highlighting the latest spicy occurrence. As such, these titillating accounts generally lack perspective, continuity, or follow-up reportage. Now, in The Hollywood Book of Scandal, veteran show business authority James Robert Parish offers perspective and entertaining accounts of 32 big provocative Hollywood scandals, including silent film star Wallace Reid's death from his drug addiction; Jean Harlow and Paul Dern's deadly marriage; Loretta Young and Clark Gable's love child; Errol Flynn's trial for statutory rape; Robert Mitchum's arrest for drugs; the murder of Lana Turner's shady lover by her daughter; Elizabeth Taylor's steeling of Debbie Reynold's Eddie Fisher; Judy Garland's public meltdown; the mysterious deaths of Bob Crane and Natalie Wood; the Saturday Night Live curse; Rob Lowe's home movies; Tupac Shakur's murder; and Winona Ryder's shoplifting and drug addition.
