    • Thank you so much for loving Glenda, because, if you read the book, you’ll see what a truly lovable person and trailblazing woman she was. Even while struggling with serious health problems, I gave my usual 110% to GLENDA, because she DESERVED a book. Best Wishes!

    • I love you, mandymarie20! I am so honored that you are thrilled that I wrote the book. I hope it lives up to your expectations. My very best wishes and thanks for your exquisite taste in actresses!

  1. Wonderful interview, I learned a lot and am reminded of a handful of movies I still need to see of Glenda’s. Love her work and can’t wait to read the book– thanks for writing it!

    • Your are very welcome, Kristina. And you really GET it: I wrote this book out of my love for Glenda and the hope that it would be read by people (especially women) exactly like you. All my best wishes–Scott

  2. Really enjoyed this interview, Cliff. Ihave the Glenda Farrell bio on my nightstand. Can’t wait to read it, it’s only finding the time. I have most of Scott’s other books and they’re all great, so I know I will like this one. I was very happy to read that Glenda Farrell had a book about her out. Always a welcome presence in any movie and it seems like she and 1930s Warner Bros. were made for each other. Thanks again.

  3. My most sincere gratitude and thanks to you, Kevin! I certainly appreciate the fact that Dear Glenda is on your nightstand. (I wish she was on everyone’s nightstand, in fact!) But the mere fact that it’s on yours fills me with joy! And I also am SO pleased that you’ve enjoyed some of my other books. Is there anyone dear to your heart you’d just love to read about? I am disabled now, and have a pretty small plate that is VERY full, but you never know, right…? Thanks again, my man–Scott

  4. Scott, I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head, though I’ve always had a thing for Debra Paget. I’ve also always been curious about producer Edward Small. I like his medium-level swashbucklers like THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK and SON OF MONTE CRISTO and know next to nothing about him.

    You were kind enough to sign my copy of your Boris Karloff biography at FANEX. That’s a great book about one of my favorite actors. I liked your Robin Hood book too, especially since we agree on the many merits of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and the many demerits of ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES. You’ve already written about Laurel & Hardy, my favorite comedy team. Whatever you do in the future I know will be worth waiting for.

    • Hi, again, I wrote you a very long reply yesterday but it disappeared into cyberspace, apparently. Thanks again for all the terrific comments. I had written about my Dad’s meeting Debra Paget serving in the U.S.C.G. and stationed on the Gulf Coast during the 1950s. I love MAN IN THE IRON MASK (one of my heroes, “Jimmy” Whale’s, last good film–it’s such a shame about him being tossed out on his bum, but he made so many excellent films in less than a decade), and I’m so thrilled when anyone else agrees with me about that absolute, infantile abomination PRINCE OF THIEVES. Hollywood’s pathological capitalism led to THE WORST CATING OF ALL TIME: Kevin Costner as Robin Hood is tantamount to casting Gary Cooper as Adolf Hitler.
