Oh my gosh never heard of it but it sounds amazing! Right up my street.I've been reading the memoir of Hedda Hopper recently, Hollywood's original gossip girl.
My god it's juicy, I'm absolutely loving it. Highly recommend.
Full chapters on Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra and the rest... It's called The Whole Truth and Nothing But.
I don’t think film stars exist like they used to previously if at all. Plus the ladies seem to insist on wearing ugly dresses or not doing their hair properly (I mean how hard is it to get your roots done Florence Pugh).Btw I watched the Oscars last night and felt such a massive sense of nostalgia over the lack of big movie 'stars' with their glamour and mystique. No offence to actors now, but there is just that certain something missing now.
She was a one-off alright. Louella Parsons who had the run of the place where gossip was concerned got too big for her boots. The uppers got sick of it and decided to put their weight behind someone else...Heda but she turned out to be worse than Louella ever was. There were things Louella would never touch but everything was fair game to Hedda who used the column to settle scores and screw enemies. She was one of the first to print about Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn and when he bumped into her one night at a club, Spence kicked her up the jacksy for printing it.I've been reading the memoir of Hedda Hopper recently, Hollywood's original gossip girl.
