If you are a fan or practitioner of the art of acting, this book belongs on your wish list. My favorite parts explore Moorehead's acting training in New York City, her collaboration with the brilliant Orson Welles, and her grande dame turn as Endora on "Bewitched." Because biographer Charles Tranberg doesn't sugarcoat Moorehead's failures on stage, screen, and in relationships, I now respect her tenacity and spirit as well as her talent. This is an extensively researched, inspiring portrait of a complex woman who accomplished remarkable things in her time.
