About this listen

As the brother in law to JFK and a member of the Rat Pack, Peter Lawford was one of America's most acclaimed movie stars. Lawford led an extraordinary life. His story, as told by the woman who knew him best, is the always candid, sometimes shocking unveiling of the most intriguing show business personalities and significant political events of our time.

Now fully updated and revised for 2014, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in Hollywood, film, and celebrity gossip.

There were several times I was going to give up
on this book , but continued as I wanted to hear what was said about Peter Lawfords relationship
with the Kennedys and Marilyn Monroe . Unfortunately, Marilyn was rather glossed over .
Patricia Lawford s description of her life with Peter
is a contradiction. It was horrific , but she was a willing collaborater who at times loved him dearly !
Other wives experiences would be interesting !
Hers, certainly does him no favours .

The sad story of two of the least sympathetic people you could ever hope not to meet.
Patricia tells us more about herself than her ex-husband - she’s very self obsessed - and he comes across as a total idiot. Horrifying.

A real horror story

This is a pathetic story about a load of self centred degenerates. Totally boring.

Much the same as another reviewer if this wasn’t free I would have retuned it. The story seems to be all over the place, back and forth. It’s hard to know if it’s her, Peter, the ex wife or someone else who is talking. All a bunch of horrible people.
It’s made worse by the robotic sounding narration. It sounds cold and unfeeling and skips from one subject to the next with no pause. I haven’t finished it yet, but I don’t believe there is one redeeming person in this supposedly real life (hearsay) story.

Any additional comments?

I nearly turned this audio book off after a few minutes as I did not like the reader or the fact that the writer (Peter's last wife) insisted on telling her life story. Luckily I did stay with it because it did get better. I enjoyed the details of 1940's Hollywood as well as the inside info on the Kennedy's, Rat-Pack and Marilyn Monroe. Unfortunately it does go down hill towards the end when the author again spends too much time telling her story again - I skipped about 2 hours at this point.So overall, not too bad.

its more about Mrs Lawford than it is about Peter Lawford. Narration sucks. Don't bother.

not at all good

The story is unbelievable and written by a person who cannot hide her bitterness towards others. The more I heard this ‘tale’ the less I believed a word and once you disbelieve any part of a story you find yourself questioning the veracity of it all. Peter Lawford deserves better.

Awful, just awful

well written

Easy to listen to and an interesting story.
I didn't know much about Peter Lawford before listening to this. I felt Hollywood was brought to life by the words.

Nicely narrated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The co author puts herself at the heart of this book. And frankly there is very little of interest about her. The rest of the Peter Lawford story has been cobbled from tales and reports made long before this author was on the scene. Opportunist telltale story.

One dimensional tabloid trashy tale.
