Nature Boy: The Unauthorized Biography of Dean Stockwell

Rating:
Summary: How accurate is an "unauthorized" biography?
Review: The professional information is most likely accurate. A listing
of movies and television roles for Dean Stockwell could be found
in a number of places, and then used in this book. You cannot,
however, really vouch for all other information if the author
never even had the chance to interview the actor and find out if
stories and anecdotes are true. I didn't get the impression that
anything was over-played, but I still wondered if we had the whole
story. Being something of a Dean Stockwell fan, I would rather
like to know that he was really well-represented by a book such
as this. (I do have to say, though, that the author of this
book never made me feel that she was trying to sensationalize
any part of the story.)
