Not expecting a great piece of literature, this was what I thought it would be...with some twists. The stars were mostly of the golden years of Hollywood, and much of it is in the form of transcribed interviews. Further, some of the women were not exactly admitting that they WERE in fact lesbians. Some of the questioning was a little pushy, and I'd have felt uncomfortable if I were these women. That said...I like to read about Hollywood days gone by, I liked reading some of the tidbits about Hollywood in general that I didn't know, and I found it to ring true. I enjoyed this book. Thanks to Net Galley and Riverdale Avenue Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn't sure what to expect of this book. There are a lot of books written about gay stars so I was positively surprised by reading about some in this book I didn't knew of. Even if not all stars admitted that they are in fact lesbians it was a very interesting read. If you want to know more about the secret life of the Hollywood stars you really should read this book.

His stories are filled with fascinating accounts of these hollywood artists. Such a shame they couldn't be honest with their lives. Couldn't put the book down.

I found this book fascinating. I am only sorry for the way Hollywood was so focused on the stars of Hollywood. The interviews were great though the actresses were reluctant or danced around questions to their sexuality. This is classic Hollywood. Hadleigh did a great job of interviewing and writing this.
It's great to finally know about these women and their lives even though it is only a small picture of the women. Even now, I think it is difficult for lesbian actresses to be out especially if they new to the business. I recommend anyone reading this even if it's only for entertainment.
