Book review - "The Hollywood book of death : the bizarre, often sordid,passings of more than 125 American movie and TV idols" by James Robert Parish

An inherently ghoulish topic is quite well done, with some decent research and sympathetic looks. It covers the well known victims - James Dean, Marilyn, etc - as well as some people who simply became obscure, eg Mary Pickford (which I wasn't aware of), as well as the "newer" dead, eg Chris Farley. Useful as a biographical resource at the very least.
