A
larger-than-life character that towered over the London stage for half
a century, Coral Browne was remarkable for her mesmerizing character performances,
her glamour, her liberated attitude to sex, and the quickness of her often-savage
wit. This Effing Lady is the hilarious and humane life of a remarkable
and truly original star.
Those who only think of Vincent Price as the deliciously evil star of numerous
horror films are in for an enjoyable surprise with Victoria Price's Vincent
Price: A Daughter's Biography. The younger Price, through a dedicated
search of clippings, letters, and her father's old journals, paints a
beautifully rich portrait of a man with personal grace, intellectual fire,
and a kind heart.

Angell is keen to let us know that Browne's best lines were the ones she
threw away in her personal life. It was Darling this and Darling that, all
the way from the London stage to Hollywood... Hats off to Angell for beckoning
Miss Coral Browne, once more, to the limelight. The Coral Browne Story.
