Reviews
Kotowski's biography of Pola Negri is an engaging account of an actress who became one of Hollywood's first stars and, as the subtitle reveals, perfected the part of the femme fatale., Those who are interested in finding strong female icons in a mostly male industry will not only find this read informative but empowering as well. It is a welcome take on an old story that stimulates the reader until the very last word and will forever keep the glamorous Pola Negri alive even after death., ""This is a very special book written on a very special movie star--the kind they don't make any more, and actually, the kind they never did make except for her. Mariusz Kotowski has done a fantastic job of bringing to life the full story, both on and off screen, of a wonderfully talented, colorful, and fascinating woman. His dedication to Negri's career deserves everyone's respect. Pola Negri deserves attention, and this book brings it in just the right way. Highly recommended."--Jeanine Basinger, author of I Do and I Don't: A History of Marriage in the Movies" --, "Those who are interested in finding strong female icons in a mostly male industry will not only find this read informative but empowering as well.
