Emily Leider documents both the woman and the actress: the early years in Montana and the multiple and sometimes foolish marriages of the former, and the development of the latter from exotic silent player to sophisticated lead in the "Thin Man" series to everyone's image of a proud, understanding middle-class wife in the 1940s and beyond."--Anthony Slide, author of "Inside the Hollywood Fan Magazine: A History of Star Makers, Fabricators, and Gossip Mongers"
