1. Scandals of Classic Hollywood by Anne Helen Peterson

Scandals of Classic Hollywood by Anne Helen Peterson Before the days when paparazzi would record every move by the rich and famous with a camera phone, Hollywood A-listers of the 1940s and '50s would get up to pretty wild things. Hollywood was a naughty playground, where stars, starlets, wannabes and has-beens would do whatever they liked and not get caught out. They were also protected by powerful movie moguls. This is one of the classic books about Hollywood scandals, reminding us about the terrible circumstances of Jean Harlow's death and the predicaments Clara Bow and Mae West found themselves in quite frequently. As juicy as a T-bone steak served up by Charles Chaplin himself.
