Book description
An anthology of indescretion compiled from 60 years' exposure to America's entertainment industry, which makes the original Hollywood Babylon look tame, polite and restrained. In the first volume in a new series, Blood Moon apply the tabloid standards of today to the scandals of Hollywood's golden age, also including shocking rundowns of today's Hollywood scandals in the making. Includes chapters on Well Hung Hollywood, Victors and Losers in the Battle of the Bulge, Fan-Worship and Necrophilia, Murder, Marilyn, a Death in a Dinghy and more lurid revelations!
