Book review - "The Girls: Sappho Goes to Hollywood" by Diana McLellan

A look at lesbians in Hollywood, with focus on the usual suspects: Mercedes de Acosta, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich. Marlene apparently was quite nice (just totally uninhibited), Greta a bitch - both of which is believable. This book has a political dimension, with Marlene being best friends with a commie spy, which takes up a bit of space in the book.
