1 .Things I couldn't tell my mother : a memoir / Sue Johnston.
Johnston, Sue
North Sydney, N.S.W. : Ebury Press, 2011.
Summary: 'There was a lot that we kept from my mother. My dad would say to me as a teenager "Don't tell your mother". We couldn't face the disapproval'. Sue Johnston always seemed to be disappointing her mother. As a girl she never stayed clean and tidy like her cousins. As she grew older, she spent all her piano lesson money on drinks for her mates down the pub, and when she discovered the Cavern she was never at home. The final straw was when Sue left her steady job at a St Helens factory to try her hand at that unsteadiest of jobs: acting. Yet when Sue was bringing up her own child alone, her mother was always there to help. And playing her much-loved characters Sheila Grant and Barbara Royle -... more (S1(B although her mum wouldn't say she was proud as such, she certainly seemed to approve. And in her mother's final months, it was Sue she needed by her side. The relationship with your mother is perhaps the most precious and fraught of any woman's life. When she began writing, Sue set out to record 'all the big things, and all the small things. Everything I wanted to tell my mother but felt I never could'.The result is a warm, poignant and often very funny memoir by one of Britain's favourite actresses.

1 .Joan Crawford : the enduring star / Peter Cowie ; foreword by Mick Lasalle ; afterword by George Cukor.
Cowie, Peter
New York : Rizzoli : Distributed in the U.S. trade by Random House, 2009.
Summary: "Joan Crawford's iconic beauty, dazzling confidence, and sheer toughness made her the very definition of a star. Her formidable talent won her an Oscar for 1945's Mildred Pierce and shines through in other classics such as Grand Hotel, The Women, and Possessed. Focusing on the often overlooked first half of her career, this lavish volume reclaims her place in the canon of glamour." "Beginning with her screen debut in 1925, Crawford pioneered a new depth that had not been seen before in roles for women. Her domineering charisma gave audiences a new kind of heroine, one with whom women - and many men - could identify in ways they never had before. With her beguiling ability to mix ambition, sex appeal, and vulnerability, Joan laid the way for today's actresses." "Although she was a product of the studio system, Crawford was also the first star to fully understand the importance of crafting her own image. She spent countless hours shooting with the brilliant photographer George --
Summary: Hurrell and cultivated a close relationship with Hollywood's finest couturier Adrian. As the photos here attest, she had an uncanny ability to spark chemistry, on and off screen, with the leading men of her halcyon days - among them Ramon Novarro, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, and Lionel Barrymore. Drawing from archives around the world and including more than a hundred photos unseen in the past twenty-five years, Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star reintroduces us to this ultimate Hollywood legend." --Book Jacket.

1 .The Doors : a lifetime of listening to Five mean years / Greil Marcus.
Marcus, Greil
London : Faber, 2012.
Summary: A fan from the moment the Doors' first album arrived, Greil Marcus saw the band many times at the legendary Filmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom in 1967. Five years later it was all over. Forty years after the singer Jim Morrison was found dead in Paris and the group disbanded, Greil Marcus muses on how one could drive from here to there, changing fom one FM pop station to another, and be all but guaranteed to hear two, three, four Doors songs in an hour. Whatever the demands in the music, they remained unsatisfied, in the largest sense unfinished, and absolutely alive. There have been many books on the Doors. This is the first to bypass their myth, their mystique, and the death cult both of Jim Morrison and the era he was made to personify, and focus solely on the music.
