...play itself, according to Samuel Pepys (via the Program Notes), is "silly." It is. It is also genuinely dirty, and all the dirt is delivered by the actors with intelligent attention and commendable relish. The plot, however, swells to unmanageable length and complication. The Dunster Players gives us the full performance, and unfortunately it plays till midnight...
...short, stout woman with grey hair drawn back in a bun, Marguerite has hardly been hostile to the publicity that has come her way since Nov. 22. "I am an important person," she says with obvious relish. "I understand that I will go down in history too." She rents one side of a small duplex house in Fort Worth.

...story with honesty, humor and considerably more literary flair than is summoned by the ghostly hacks who write most Hollywood memoirs. He was one of the last beneficiaries and victims of the star-building system that died with television, and he describes the system's absurdities with the relish of a man who never really belonged. Hollywood's effect on Hayden was curious: whereas most leading men (Flynn, Bogart, Wayne) began after a time to believe their own roistering publicity, Hayden found himself beginning to disbelieve in everything he had ever done...
