Definitive book on Morgan, a singer I was mostly familiar with because of Showboat and that film about her. Hollywood was kind of obsessed with that twenties Broadway period with Texas Guinan, Morgan, Ziegfield etc. It sounds like fun with everyone drunk and getting raided and making huge amounts of money. Of course there was a dark side and Connelly is strong on that - he's strong on everything, even Morgan's legal troubles, her complicated upbringing (lots of step dads).
Impossible to imagine a better book about Morgan.
