Lydia Thompson: A Biography (Forgotten Stars of the Musical Theater)

Rating:
Summary: Expensive, but worth it
Review: Despite the ludicrous price the publisher is charging for this book, I would recommend everyone sell some plasma and stagger out to buy it. One of the best show-biz bios I have ever read. Chatty, informative, stunningly well-researched; often funny. The author takes us not only into the life and career of a very successful (but now forgotten) star, but takes us on some fascinating side-trips as well.

A superb job--many pats on the back to Mr. Gänzl.
