Her fabled discovery by Paramount Talent Head William Meiklejohn in 1942 has become one of the most legendary tales in Hollywood history. Here is the in depth story of the long forgotten Paramount star whose beauty was rare, even by Hollywood standards. The shy actress with the lovely blue eyes, and the luxurious, raven black hair whose face, when in repose, always had a haunting sadness. Gail Russell's story is taken from old newspaper and magazine accounts taken during her lifetime. Interviews with Gail Russell's mother, those people whom worked with her during her movie career, and especially with those interviews with Gail Russell personally. It is a unique and vivid tale of a young girl who possessed the beauty of a movie star, but tragically, not the temperament. The book also contains over 100 photos from Gail's life and movie career.
