This covers actress and author Brooks's life (1907-1985) from her days as a precocious child in Kansas through her sexually promiscuous, hedonistic adult years, here detailed exhaustively. ``The biography is a gossip lover's feast, naming names and telling tales, yet also makes an addition to film history,'' wrote PW.
