Carole Landis - A Most Beautiful Girl: Coming June 2008

Despite appearing in twenty-eight movies in little over a decade, Carole Landis never quite became a major Hollywood star. Although she acted in such enduring films as A Scandal in Paris, she was most often relegated to supporting roles. Even when she played the major role in a feature, as she did in The Powers Girl and the film noir I Wake Up Screaming!, she was billed second or third behind other actors. This biography traces Landis's life, chronicling her beginnings as a dance hall entertainer in San Francisco, her career in Hollywood and abroad, her USO performances, and ultimately her suicide. Using interviews with actors who worked with Landis, contemporary movie magazines and journals, and correspondence, biographer Eric Gans reveals a tragic figure whose life was all too brief. Landis's big break came in 1940 with Hal Roach's One Million B.C. She appeared in thirteen Twentieth Century-Fox pictures between 1941 and 1946. After her last American film in 1947, she worked in England while having an affair with married actor Rex Harrison. Tormented by a love that could not lead to matrimony and depressed with age, she took a fatal drug overdose on July 5, 1948. Click here to order this book!
