The best part of this fascinating little book is the "tour" of the Miss Mooreheads house that the author provides. Dr. Sherk takes the reader into Ms. Moorehead's den and libraries and describes everthing from the rugs on the floor to the titles of books on the shelves. Also, he relates stores told by friends of Ms Moorehead which describe what a grand lady she must have been.

One word of warning, however. There are at least a couple of errors. One seems to be a misprint, the other gives credit to actor Tony Randall for having done a voice-over that was actually done by comedian Paul Lynde.

Light, easy going biography focuses on the actress Agnes Moorehead as the author knew her, rather than on her life in general. The book consists of anecdotes from friends, fans and coworkers that focus mainly on Ms. Moorehead's deeply held religious beliefs and the many kindnesses she bestowed on others throughout her life. Those looking for controversy, deep dark secrets or skeletons in the closet will be disappointed, everyone else will find this short, to the point biography both entertaining and informative.

Kear has done fairly well over all, but several of her reference sections are incomplete. Also, she seems to go out of her way to print reviews of Miss Moorehead's films/TV appearances that are negative and in some cases downright insulting. My overall impression is that Kear, as she did her research, began (for whatever reason) to dislike Miss Moorehead. In spite of these glaring and obvious flaws, there is some good information here, I just wish it had been put together by someone with a little more repect and admiration for her esteemed subject.
