Prurient, salacious gossip sometimes unbelievable. I know much of the book is true but some aspects of it seem far fetched. This is a huge book and by the end it felt like the three writers were bragging and lying about the conquest of every man, actor, actress, straight or gay they ever met right up to and including the President of the United States and his wife. Claiming that between the three of them they had had every major male star and if they hadn't then they knew someone who had. Even if every word was true how the author got away with writing these slanderous or libelous (I never know which is which) claims. Fascinating reading regardless of truth.… (meer)

A somewhat shocking story of Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Gore Vidal and their ilk from Hollywood and Broadway. The amount of casual and explicit sex among all the characters with same sex and opposite sex is amazing. Some of the Hollywood stars like Marlon Brando and Paul Newman were bisexuals and had lots of sex with men and women. It was true of most of Hollywood. This is an eye opener. I don't think sex is as free today as it was during the 1950s and early 1960s. The book is too long at 700 pages but it is a fun read. It is not particularly well structured but a good read.… (meer)

Love Triangle: Ronald Reagan, Jane Wyman & Nancy Davis may find its way onto many a Republican Reagan fan's reading shelf; but those who expect another Reagan celebration will be surprised: this is lurid Hollywood exposé writing at its best, and outlines the truths surrounding one of the most provocative industry scandals in the world.

There are already so many biographies of the Reagans on the market that one might expect similar mile-markers from this: be prepared for shock and awe; because Love Triangle doesn't take your ordinary approach to biography and describes a love triangle that eventually bumped a major Hollywood movie star from the possibility of being First Lady and replaced her with a lesser-known Grade B actress (Nancy Davis).

From politics and betrayal to romance, infidelity, and sordid affairs, Love Triangle is a steamy, eye-opening story that blows the lid off of the Reagan illusion to raise eyebrows on both sides of the big screen.

Black and white photos liberally pepper an account of the careers of all three and the lasting shock of their stormy relationships in a delightful pursuit especially recommended for any who relish Hollywood gossip.

I'm genuinely embarrassed to have read this 700 page clunker. It was filled with terrible writing, shoddy editing, dubious source material, errors, inaccuracies...and I couldn't put it down. It may be the trashiest, most lurid "biography" ever written...but oddly compelling!
