As movie patrons sat in darkened theaters in January 1914, they were mesmerized by an alluring temptress with long sable hair and kohl-rimmed eyes. Theda Bara--"the vamp," as she would come to be known--would soon be one of the highest paid film stars of the 1910s, earning an unheard of $4,000 per week, before retiring from the screen in 1926.
In 1946, at age five, the author met Bara--then 61--at her Beverly Hills home and the actress became her mentor. This memoir is the story of their friendship.

The characters are well rounded and amusing and the plot keeps you guessing as to the true identity of the dragon. If you belong to a westernised culture, steeped in theistic religion and didactic reasoning, AND know somthing of Zen already, this may be the book that finally reassures your reasonable self that your purely spiritual one is on the right track. The candid advice and step-by step strategy offered in this book helped me land my first television job; and prepared me for the realities of a career in television. I hope that's what one could take away from the book.
And I love mustangs more than ever. Such graphic sexual content makes me uncomfortable as I don't enjoy the blunt terminology and the vivid details like most people do. In short there was very little about what the responder should collect and what is useless information. It gives equal attention to many pioneers, including Fisher, Schumpeter, Slutsky, Divisia, and many others.. Yes, it is rather dry sometimes,
