It’s been sitting on my shelf since it was first published. One of those things I always wanted to get to, but now I will.
And, I can’t think of a better introduction for my daughter, to voracious reader, into non-fiction biographies.
Depends on how old your daughter is, and how many old movies she’s seen :-). It’s a very long book, and might not be interesting to a reader who wasn’t familiar with Charlton Heston’s movies or the other movie stars with whom he worked.
