Description

Julie London's life was defined by two opposing forces: her provocative image and the reality behind it. This biography delves into the contrast between public persona and private self, revealing how Julie's image influenced her career choices. Through extensive research, interviews with those close to her, and access to rare archival material, author Michael Owen sheds light on Julie London's transformation from 1940s movie starlet to a coolly defiant singer of classic torch ballads. The book also explores her journey as a Las Vegas hotel entertainer during the rock 'n' roll revolution and her later role as a no-nonsense nurse in the hit television series Emergency!. This biography offers a nuanced understanding of Julie London's life, one that balances the glamour of her image with the complexities of her personal story.
