Texte suppl.

Having thoroughly research his subject, Landon Palmer has created a fascinating account of how essential pop stars took their own unique paths to movie stardom. The author's stories are so engrossing that I found myself becoming obsessed with careers I thought I already knew everything about. I couldn't put it down.
