Book Presentation:
The scandalous love affair of “The Royal Family of the British Stage” was second in fame and notoriety only to that of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Co-authors Roy Moseley (the couple’s "honorary" godson and long-standing friend and personal assistant) and Darwin Porter tear away the velvet curtain previously draped over the reputations of this famous team, exposing with searing insights the depths of their sexual excess and interpersonal anguish. Some of the most iconic figures of the 20th century move through chapters that highlight a revelation on every page.

Press Reviews:
"The biography, Damn You, Scarlett O'Hara, is the first to identify Leigh's lesbian lovers...One of her first bisexual lovers to be named in the book is Isabel Jeans, an actress who...had appeared in early films by Alfred Hitchcock.There are at least two other lesbian relationships outlined in the book, as well as affairs with a host of dashing leading men, including Marlon Brando and Rex Harrison." ― The Sunday Times
