Book Reviews of Hollywood Lesbians
Book Review: Hollywood Lesbians reveals much about subjects and author.
Summary: 4 Stars
Hollywood Lesbians is one of author Boze Hadleigh's "exposes" of homosexuality in show business. While the interviews are entertaining and informative, I find that Mr. Hadleigh tends to be self-righteous, and exploitative in the name of "helping" gays and lesbians. His interview with Barbara Stanwyck is downright cruel, and he displays much insensitivity in dealing with Agnes Moorehead and Dame Judith Anderson. Mr. Hadleigh seems to believe that he is qualified to tell everyone else how to run his or her life. Instead of trying to show some understanding towards these women who were forced to stay in the closet, he chooses to blame them for the attitudes of society. (Tellingly, Mr. Hadleigh is much kinder towards the men he interviewed in "Hollywood Gays", implying misogynistic impulses on his part.) In any event, this book is eye-opening and ultimately earns sympathy for the subjects, and makes one look forward to the day when everyone can live his or her life openly.
