Book Reviews of Margaret O'Brien: A Career Chronicle and Biography
Book Review: Not enough!
Summary: 2 Stars
For the price of this book I really thought it would be jam-packed with information,sadly it lacked this and I was left with more questions about her life than answers. It was very disappointing.
Summary of Margaret O'Brien: A Career Chronicle and Biography
Among Hollywood?s child stars are some talented children, normal and pleasant who find fame in film. Margaret O'Brien is one; her career began in 1941. The fresh-faced moppet quickly became a sensation and won the 1944 Academy Award for Outstanding Child Actress. As Adele in Jane Eyre (1944) and Beth in Little Women (1949), Margaret endeared herself to millions. Despite the strain of growing up on screen, O'Brien continues to perform today.This reference work details O?Brien?s remarkable and varied career on stage, screen, and television: it includes a biography and a complete listing of all her film, radio, stage, and television appearances, as well as references to her in magazines and newspapers. Each entry includes complete production information, as well as reviews and behind-the-scenes commentary. Included are forewords by Robert Young and O'Brien herself, who provided much of the information in this book. Dozens of photos, including many from O'Brien's personal collection, illustrate the text and show the varied stages of a career that includes both famous roles and famous friendships.
