I really enjoy reading autobiographies and biographies.
I particularly like ones about the "Golden Age" of Hollywood and the best ones were about Judy Garland, Bette Davis and Errol Flynn.
Errol Flynn said that the only thing he regretted in life was never learning to play the piano!
I recently read "Me Cheeta" the autobiography of the chimp from the Tarzan films.
Apparently, animals cannot be sued for libel so he can get away with a lot!!
Whoever really wrote the book obviously knows a lot about Hollywood of the 1930s and it is a good read - also it touches on the mis-use of animals in the film industry.
Did you know...........
200 horses were killed during the making of the 1930s version of "The Charge of the Light Brigade"? that is more than died in the real battle.......................mad
