Rita Hayworth

Someone here mentioned her biography "If This Was Happiness" as being a good read.

I knew nothing about this chick.

This has to be the most boring biography I have ever slogged through. And I have to say- I feel for this lady's horrible background (sexual abuse), but she really comes across as a boring, one dimensional flake. Really uninteresting on every level.

The book doesn't do her much justice and is just about her romances- all of which are BORING as fuck.

I forgive whoever recommended this shitshow, as that Barbara Payton biography someone mentioned here was a fucking page turner!!!

She was quite young to die from Alzheimer's.

I read Learning's bio of Orson Welles and was bored to tears by it. She gets good reviews and has fans but I can sympathize, she's a dull writer.

I bought the Sheila MacRae autobio Hollywood Mother of the Year based on a recommendation here and I can't wait to read it.
