About this listen

As the brother in law to JFK and a member of the Rat Pack, Peter Lawford was one of America's most acclaimed movie stars. Lawford led an extraordinary life. His story, as told by the woman who knew him best, is the always candid, sometimes shocking unveiling of the most intriguing show business personalities and significant political events of our time.

Now fully updated and revised for 2014, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in Hollywood, film, and celebrity gossip.

I liked the honestly and revealing contents of Peters sad but extremely privileged life. He had every thing but drink and drugs don’t make up for family and friends . As we all know who real friends are .

Very interesting and sad

Hollywood as we don't get to know but suspect, sad really how those we assume have it all actually have very little or nothing of value..at all.

interesting seeing the inner workings & lifestyles of 40's -60's movie people.

Any additional comments?

I nearly turned this audio book off after a few minutes as I did not like the reader or the fact that the writer (Peter's last wife) insisted on telling her life story. Luckily I did stay with it because it did get better. I enjoyed the details of 1940's Hollywood as well as the inside info on the Kennedy's, Rat-Pack and Marilyn Monroe. Unfortunately it does go down hill towards the end when the author again spends too much time telling her story again - I skipped about 2 hours at this point.So overall, not too bad.

A Mixed Bag

Well written and well narrated. Hence I've given it all five stars. Not because I liked what I read.
The sad tale of this movie star who didn't stand a chance from the beginning. Childhood abuse.... used by Hollywood..... drugs..... alcohol..... sex. Sad, sad, sad life of this handsome actor who couldn't find a way out.
