Is That All There Is?: The Strange Life of Peggy Lee by James Gavin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Wow, what self-made tragedy Lee comes across as here. Her talent launched her on an arc to dominate nightclub pop-jazz and to retain a draw after that era. However, in her personal life reckless spending, self-destructive business decisions, and substance abuse self-limited her ability to enjoy her success and realize even more of it. She also appears to have really taken advantage of anyone's willingness to assist her or work for her.
