This fabulous tell-all by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger is packed with juicy show biz tidbits from the 1960s and 1970s. I knew Liz and Dick (oops, they hated those nicknames) drank alcohol to excess, but I had no idea Richard could drink three bottles of vodka a day. And Elizabeth put away large amounts of Jack Daniels. Sadly, Richard was the victim of his alcoholism. And Elizabeth was one of the first patients at the Betty Ford Center. The pair also shared a love of small dogs, several of which were kept for weeks on their yacht in London in order to avoid quarantine. Elizabeth's jewelry collection is legendary; Richard loved to give her expensive baubles for birthdays and anniversaries. The photographs in this book are wonderful--they were truly beautiful people as well as star crossed lovers.--Barb P.
