Book Reviews of Mrs. Ziegfeld: The Public and Private Lives of Billie Burke
Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a long-time fan of The Wizard of Oz (1939), growing up, to me, Billie Burke WAS Glinda the Good Witch because that's about the only film I ever saw her in. As I began researching my own book on Olive Thomas, Billie Burke became an integral part of my research because of her marriage to Ziegfeld (Olive's boss in the Frolic and Follies), hence the title of this book - "Mrs. Ziegfeld." I learned a lot more about her as I delved into the life of Ziegfeld for my own project and then the road detoured away from her again. Now, this book fills in all the gaps! What a wonderful life and how beautifully it's told here in this book. One of the best books I've read this year, by far. You will not be disappointed if you buy this book. If you think you know everything about Billie Burke, think again. This is the definitive reference guide to her life and career. Fantastic!
