What an amazing read about the one of the most beautiful women in film ever. Her life as a dancing partner with her Father leaves Rita Casino no childhood and his inappropriate behavior with her leaves her no innocence. Married to a much older man who would gladly allow her love affairs if it would benefit her career and his wallet. The beauty and the beast marriage to boy wonder Orson Welles gave her a child but left her neglected by a genius. What should have been a fairy tale marriage to Aly Kahn turned into a unhappy union as well and left her with another daughter to raise alone. Her marriage to Dick Haymes ended her reign as the Love Goddess but her acting showed real talent. The movies Cover Girl and the two with Fred Astaire are as fresh today and will always be associated with her. The book is a wonderful read I recommend anyone who would like to get to know one of the great screen legends Miss Gilda herself.Read full review
I'm just getting started with the book, but it seems well written and factual from what little I know about the lady.
