Fed into the grinding gears of the star-maker machinery, these ladies are picked out of chorus lines, dusted off and dragged on publicity tours, only to fall prey to age, drugs, controlling husbands and abusive lovers. Many of them come to the screen having been sexually abused as a child, and perhaps the damaged aura they radiate is part of what makes them so captivating, and their blase attitude toward sex makes them queens of the casting couch system. In both books the sirens come alive with oodles of steamy pictures.

Either the writer knows that no one will be reading it anyway — at least not all the way through, or the guy who brings the most photos to the book has written it and is better at collecting and lovingly preserving old stills than writing. The first few pages are a great example of the good and bad in film books.
