review 1: If there is such a thing as a superstar Liz was it. This biography goes into all the graphic details of the making of a child star who was fully mature by age fourteen. She was one of those people that the Studio was always challenged how to market. Almost too beautiful to play some parts, and even when she was three inches too short for National Velvet she went on a growing campaign to get her the added height. Nothing stopped her. The first chapter with Elizabeth, Eddie Fisher and Burton is hilarious. The picture of Debbie Reynolds starring off into space is really hilarious, as if she knew exactly where Eddie was going. Sure Liz set the mold, but I doubt if anyone will ever fill it.
review 2: Mink, diamonds and ridiculous drama created the phenomenon ... morethat was Elizabeth Taylor. In Mann's biography, 'How to be a Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood," the book reads like a novel. Elizabeth's strange lifestyle - sometimes glamourous, sometimes outrageous or shocking - is a captivating read, regardless of whether or not you're a fan. A really interesting read. It will leave you off feeling terribly happy that you're not a movie star, too. less
