Description de l'ouvrage:
Ann Sheridan was much more than just Hollywood’s glamorous and sexy “Oomph Girl.” She was also a versatile actress who beguiled movie audiences with her vibrant personality and no-nonsense acting style opposite some of the biggest stars of the time like James Cagney, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and Errol Flynn. She excelled in multiple genres, including drama, comedy, and musical, with ease and individual style. Several of her movies, like Angels with Dirty Faces, Kings Row, and I Was a Male War Bride endure today as classic films from Hollywood’s Golden Age.

In this first-ever full-length biography, Ann Sheridan’s colorful life and 34-year career are examined in detail, including her long climb to motion picture stardom, the years as a top box-office draw, her three marriages, and other significant romantic relationships.

Revue de Presse:
• “Rinella covers Sheridan’s roles in such memorable films as Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), Kings Row (1942), and I Was a Male War Bride (1949) and highlights her co-stars James Cagney, Errol Flynn, Cary Grant, and Humphrey Bogart. … Rinella chronicles the ups-and-downs of her love life and marriages."—Booklist

• "Rinella charts the life of Ann Sheridan (1915–67) in this first full-length biography of the Hollywood starlet. … excellent research, shines a spotlight on the business of old Hollywood, and gives overdue credit to Sheridan. Recommended"—Library Journal
