A good biography on actor Clifton Webb. The first 6 chapters were part of an autobiography Webb himself had started and found as part of his estate papers. It is full of Webb's well known wit and fascinating to read. The next few chapters are based on some notes Webb had written to continue the autobiography. The last few chapters are by the author. The change of style is noticeable, with the first 6 chapters the most interesting. However, by then you are so absorbed in Webb's life and what happens that you don't mind the change in style too much. I had no idea that Webb was such a popular star and a big money maker for 20th Century Fox and good friend of Daryl F. Zanuck. I would recommend the book to fans of classic films. The book includes a complete filmography as well as a list of Webb's stage credits. ( )
