This looks excellent, 'becca, I've always been fascinated by Charlie Chaplin since seeing the movie with Robert Downey Jr. I'm definitely going to pick this up. Thanks!! -- Sassenach Musings

[> Thanks, Beccabee, for this review and your email to me. I think there's a book out there detailing the gleesome threesome's many-decades-long friendship (Gloria, Oona, and Carol). Oona O'Neill Chaplin has long fascinated me (Geraldine Chaplin is one of my very favorite actresses) and I'll be looking for this one. Her ending as an alcoholic is truly tragic, considering who she was before. (By the way, have you read Gloria Vanderbilt's memoir about many of her love affairs, "It Seemed Important at the Time"? Gotta love that title! She also has another one about her son's suicide.) -- Lemora, 23:46:44 07/23/06 Sun

[> [> The books you mentioned are on my "mental list." I think it is funny that Anderson Cooper is constantly embarrassed by his elderly mother's memoirs of her lovers. What a hoot! -- beccabee, 21:50:25 07/26/06 Wed
