Doris Day by Eric Braun
2 of 2 found this helpful I bought this book because I'm a big Doris Day fan. I didn't like it very much, because most of it is just rehashed information from her autobiography with A.E. Hotchner. Also, the writer has an annoying habit of going off on tangents about actors he likes, movies he's seen and little anecdotes that really have nothing to do with the subject at hand. For example, he tells the story of actor Gig Young who did some movies with Ms. Day, and who later murdered his wife and committed suicide. It makes sense to include this because of his connection to Ms. Day. However, he also includes many stories about actors who have little or no connection to the story, but who for some reason he is reminded of. Because of this, it's very hard sometimes to keep track of the events in this book, most of which I was already familiar with because of reading her autobiography. But for someone who is not familiar with Ms. Day's personal life, I would imagine it would be a very difficult read. I would say that anyone wanting to know more about the woman described as "America's girl next door", should bypass this book in favor of Doris Day - Her Own Story, by Doris Day with A. E. Hotchner.

Classic CD
3 of 3 found this helpful This CD is completely different from anything I'm used to listening to. I've been listening to rock music since my teens, and that's usually what I buy. I always thought Tony Bennett had a good voice, but didn't think his music was my music. A couple of months ago, I was driving down the road and found a station playing a Tony Bennett salute. I listened for a minute and was going to change it, but every time I went to change it, they played another song and I was hooked again! So I came to eBay to buy a Tony Bennett CD. Not being sure how I'd end up liking it, I didn't want to spend too much. I picked this CD because of the price, and because I figured since these songs were made famous by Frank Sinatra, I might have heard of some of them. I had heard of a couple, but in the end it made no difference. The CD is beautiful. His voice sounds wonderful, the songs are great, and it led me to buy two more Tony Bennett CD's. The music is relaxing, romantic, and the songs are about things that never change, love, romance, and people. I would recommend this CD highly, whether you're a long-time fan of Mr. Bennett's, or like me, a new fan.

A good, trashy read!
1 of 1 found this helpful I had heard of this book for years before I bought it. I thought it might be interesting, and it was. It tells the story of 4 Hollywood prostitutes and some of their clients, and yes, they name names! It held my interest, and in many ways it was a cautionary tale. Most of their stories don't end well, and they all had some bad experiences with their chosen profession, and the drugs that seem to go along with it.
The only problem I had with the book was the rather disingenuous way the women talked about some of their customers. A frequent complaint was that the men didn't ask about their lives and feelings, as if these men had met them in a social setting instead of paying them for sexual favors. More than once a complaint was made about the men seeing the seedy apartments of these women, and not helping them out, either with money, or with a job offer on a tv show or movie, as if they were obligated to do so. What to me is an obvious ploy for sympathy backfires - these men were virtual strangers to these women, despite having sex with them. These women chose their profession, but seemed to be looking for a "Pretty Woman" ending. And they were not poverty stricken women, driven to prostitution out of a desperate need, most of these women are from families with money.
All in all, it is a book that holds your interest. I read it in one day and enjoyed it. There is a part in the preface that says that the book was researched so that to the best of their knowledge, what these women are saying is true. I don't know if that is correct, but I do know there are a couple of celebrities I'll never look at the same way again!
