Sex Lives of the Hollywood Goddesses

by Nigel Cawthorne

Book Overview

Hollywood has always been synonymous with sex. The early tycoons packed their epics with ravishing dancing girls frequently chosen via the casting couch. But it wasnt just men who let their libidos run wild. Hollywood screen goddesses could have anybody, and frequently did.

SOME HOT GOSSIP

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED WHO WAS BED PARTNERS WITH THE LIKES OF GRACE KELLY, JEAN HARLOW, LANA TURNER, AVA GARNDER MARILYN AND MANY MORE THEN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. IT GIVES A BRIEF BUT DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE MANY AFFAIRS EACH OF THESE ACTRESSES. IT ALSO HAS SOME MORE DETAILED INFO SUCH AS WHAT POSITION SOME OF THEM LIKED AND WHAT SEXUAL ACTS SOME WERE CONSIDERED EXPERTS AT. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY ENTERTAINING BOOK.

A Guilty Pleasure

Nigel Cawthorne's books are always so much fun to read. They are filled with the juiciest stories from classic Hollywood. If you love hearing all the gossip about what was going on in the stars bedrooms then this book is for you. Nigel isn't afraid to dish the dirt about all the affairs and scandals. This book is definitely not for fans who want to see their favorite actresses portrayed as saints. All the chapters are fascinating especially Jayne Mansfield and Mae West. This book was impossible to put down!

Sex, Movies & History-The Best Combo

Cawthorne has done it again with his Goddesses book -- putting out a page turner of hot history which any movie or history buff should read...the amount of research he has done is phenomenal and yet his writing is not stilted or didactic at all. Rather, this book, like his others, is so incredibly entertaining, I can't wait for his next one to come out! (And I hope these books are on reading lists for history classes in school--? What better way to learn?)

What a Mistake!

Well the only thing I can say about this book is that some of it was shocking and a revalation,especially about Grace Kelly and what a slag she was. But all in all it goes to show what people will do to make it in the movies.I'm pretty sure that it's still the same for both men and women today they have to give head and more to get ahead.But what really shocked me about the book was that NIgel got the date and year of Marilyn's death so wrong if he got that wrong what else did he get wrong in this book. For the record she died on the 4 August 1962 aged 36 and not in 1965 aged 39 jeez what a massive mistake.

From silver screen to satin sheets!

One thing in life that every one loves to read about is the Hollywood bombshell sexual exploits. Every newspaper and magazine covers the story and the reader gets just enough to keep coming back. Nigel Cawthorne has uncovered more than enough in this book and you'll definitely want more.Women like Clara Bow, Tulula Bankhead, Jane Russell, Jayne Mansfield, Louise Brooks, Garbo, Dietrich, Lana Turner, Jean Harlow, Grace Kelly and many, many more are included in a book that I think is sure to be a number one bestseller.What Cawthorne gives you is a first hand look into the world of glamour and glitz and the women who turn sex appeal in money. You'll read, for the first time, many stories that somehow never managed to make the mainstream press and you'll be amazed at most.It is simply amazing how once again Nigel Cawthorne is able to get to the root of the story and give you the details. Each story is short and compact, filled with fantasy and fun making it a real pleasure to read this book. Once again Nigel is the man!
