So Sad to Realize

So sad to realize how many glamorous movie stars were abused and damaged and further how the studio industry perpetuated the abuse in full.

After hearing so many stories similar to Ms. Hayworth's, I'm forced to conclude there were no stars unscathed.

Disillusioned and disgusted.

this well done reading was interesting in its cleansing out of Mr Wells' goings on at the time with more detail than Mr. Bogdonavich had in his biography of Wells.

Gobsmacked at the level of this writing. More so because it is from a woman. Sexist of me, no doubt, but astonishing honestly.

How on earth did this talented cast lower their souls enough to try (and rightly fail) to make organ theft, for any rationalized reason, funny??

What was the moment when lying, cheating, stealing, violating stranger's bodies, and committing all sorts of amorality became ok?

Hard pass.

eye-opening in terms of women's contribution to historical and current military. performances remarkable for characterizations.

The story frank and engaging. The performance pitch perfect. each accent/character incredibly well done. Loved what I learned about the years of Ms. Hepburn's upbringing, personal life, and career, her contemporaries and friendships.

Moments were top-tier quality. Would have made its best version if started with chapter 4 and ended with chapter 10 as a stand alone novella.

There were a few additional great moments in other chapters too but perhaps if those were worked into the main body, you'd have something even more extraordinary.

Narrator's performance was exceptional. each character voiced distinct enough to follow through crowd dialog.

spoilers: if rewritten, would remove the corporate name mentioned over a dozen times as repetitive. A fictitious area company would have made the point of contrast without feeling sponsored. Also overused was a particular body reaction/illness. A few dramatic vomits for the main protagonist can be effective. But here it was used too frequently, nearly each chapter had her emptying her stomach.

The strong moments make this worthwhile. I was taken by it in places.

My first proper audiobook and I feel dumb for not understanding how rich an experience they can be now. I thought they were just a robotic voice reading text. But this excellent story was instead so finely read and performed it left me stunned.
