Scandals of Classic Hollywood: Sex, Deviance, and Drama from the Golden Age of American CinemaHollywood gossip meets history in this compulsively readable collection from Buzzfeed reporter Anne Helen Peterson. Believe it or not, America's fascination with celebrity culture was thriving well before the days of TMZ, Cardi B, Kanye's tweets, and the #metoo allegations that have gripped Hollywood. And the stars of yesteryear? They weren't always the saints that we make them out to be. BuzzFeed's Anne Helen Petersen, author of Too Fat, Too Slutty,
Hollywood gossip meets history in this compulsively readable collection from Buzzfeed reporter Anne Helen Peterson.Believe it or not, America's fascination with celebrity culture was thriving well before the days of TMZ, Cardi B, Kanye's tweets, and the #metoo allegations that have gripped Hollywood. And the stars of yesteryear? They weren't always the saints that we make them out to be. BuzzFeed's Anne Helen Petersen, author of Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, is here to set the record straight. Pulling little-known gems from the archives of film history, Petersen reveals eyebrow-raising information, including:
- The smear campaign against the original It Girl, Clara Bow, started by her best friend
- The heartbreaking story of Montgomery Clift's rapid rise to fame, the car accident that destroyed his face, and the "long suicide" that followed
- Fatty Arbuckle's descent from Hollywood royalty, fueled by allegations of a boozy orgy turned violent assault
- Why Mae West was arrested and jailed for "indecency charges"
- And much more Part biography, part cultural history, these stories cover the stuff that films are made of: love, sex, drugs, illegitimate children, illicit affairs, and botched cover-ups. But it's not all just tawdry gossip in the pages of this book. The stories are all contextualized within the boundaries of film, cultural, political, and gender history, making for a read that will inform as it entertains. Based on Petersen's beloved column on the Hairpin, but featuring 100% new content, Scandals of Classic Hollywood is sensationalism made smart.

Wow, Dove really outdid themselves. Great product.
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Wow, what a difference what a difference Amazon basic body wash is what I was using before to be honest and it used to be very good. I don’t know if they changed the formula but that formula now it doesn’t lather up. You have to use half the bottle to get it to lather up this one lathers up amazingly well and you only need a few pushes. As a guy, I love it. We have dry skin too, just like anybody else so between moisturizer and lather , the scent the skin protection the skin softeners the whole thing it’s great. And you get a lot of of it too, which is awesome so overall at least to me a great value for the money

Best skin care product ever tried
I am 74 years old and have been using this product for 23 days. I could see a difference the first time using it. My face was a lot smoother and hydrated. I apply it after cleansing my face morning and night followed by my regular moisturizer. It has diminished wrinkles and makes my face glow. It also blends well with liquid foundation. I have been getting compliments but have not told anyone what I am using yet. It also helps to smooth the tops of my hands and arms. I have tried many skin care products and never gotten results like this.

Amazing Serum
This serum is one of the best I’ve ever used, & I’ve tried many. It’s non-greasy, light, absorbs into skin well,, & has really improved the texture of my skin. I am amazed at how well it works on fine lines, deep wrinkles ,& large pores. Wish I had taken a before & after photo. Highly recommended, & I have mature skin.
