Historia
From former screen legends who have faded into obscurity to new revelations about the biggest movie stars, Valderrama unearths the most fascinating little-known tales from the birth of Hollywood through its Golden Age. The shocking fate of the world's first movie star. Clark Gable's secret love child. The film that nearly ended Paul Newman's career. A former child star who, at 93, reveals her #metoo story for the first time. Valderrama unfolds these stories, and many more, in a volume that is by turns riveting, maddening, hilarious, and shocking.

Fascinating read about
Revisado: 07-06-23
I enjoyed this in it's entirety. well written and the details of each short story held my attention completely. Im not particularly sensitive to mispronouncing...but the reader substitutes "D" for "T". padent (patent) liddle (little) and it takes a little time to overlook it and not focus on it.

Historia
In Killing the Legends, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard explore the lives, legacies, and tragic deaths of three of the most famous people of the 20th century. Each experienced immense success, then failures that forced them to change; each faced the challenge of growing old in fields that privilege youth; and finally, each became isolated, cocooned by wealth but vulnerable to the demands of those in their innermost circles.

this was a well narrated listen
Revisado: 03-29-23
well narrated listen into the lives of three of the most widely celebrated legends of this age. The details are always amazingly researched, as are all of the "killing" books. While Killing Jesus is still my favorite, all of the books are "must" reads.

Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Sadly damaged son
Revisado: 02-13-23
Harry (as expected) is gravely damaged by the death of his mother and the trappings of his life he was born into. The limelight, and bothersome life of being " readily known" has always plagued celebrities. Being a child of such celebrity, it comes with an upside, which his brother embraces, and a downside where Harry is. There are some things in this book that might we'll have been left alone. Siblings fight. That's a fact in all families. One should come away, hoping he will quietly go into the life he wants..a quiet one. His brother will step up to the place HE was born into as well. Wish them all well.

A Real story, by a real person. nobody's victim
Revisado: 07-28-22
Most impressed with his OWN narration. It made me understand his life better when he read it himself. His story is a testament to fatherless boys that determination will win if there are angels in a kid's life...even if for just a little while. Good listen.

Historia
On a camping trip at Ayer’s Rock, the Chamberlain family’s infant daughter disappeared in the middle of the night. Her distraught mother, Lindy, claimed she saw a dingo carry her off into the Australian outback. Two years later, their tragedy worsened when, without a murder weapon, a body, or even a motive, a jury convicted Lindy Chamberlain of killing her own daughter. The public cheered.

Revisado: 05-09-22
I loved the forensic detail. I wanted all those details as I followed the story back in the day. it easy to see now how public opinion can sway even the most compelling defense. might be boring for someone who isn't interested in this much detail. I, however, thought it thorough and interesting.

Historia
As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

strength through it all
Revisado: 10-06-21
to remain faithful to God and one's belief system is character telling. Only a strong, quiet resistance was able to stop the voice of the unreasonable Hitler. a telling book on how these things CAN happen...even to us in today's world.

Historia
Bronx-born top turret-gunner Arthur Meyerowitz was on his second mission when he was shot down in 1943. He was one of only two men on the B-24 Liberator known as Harmful Lil Armful who escaped death or immediate capture on the ground. After fleeing the wreck, Arthur knocked on the door of an isolated farmhouse, whose owners hastily took him in. Fortunately, his hosts not only despised the Nazis but had a tight connection to the French resistance group Morhange and its founder, Marcel Taillandier.

Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

long and tedious
Revisado: 01-10-21
this book is one of those that has a lot of players and all of their stories mixed in. You really shouldn't get distracted while listening as I often do. it is decent period story that jumps often to present day. I had to back up a lot with "wait what?". Sorry I couldn't give it a high mark..but in a listening book it's very hard to flip back and refresh what's going on with different characters, like it is in reading form. it's a very long book so good luck.

Historia
The tragic story of Susan Powell and her murdered boys, Charlie and Braden, is the only case that rivals the Jon Benet Ramsey saga in the annals of true crime. When the pretty, blonde Utah mother went missing in December of 2009 the media was swept up in the story - with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.
