This is a wonderful combination of a personal memoir, a biography of her father, and a history of early Hollywood. We get to follow the career of Lyle Talbot on his lengthy journey, starting with a traveling theater, think off-Broadway vaudeville paired with circus sideshows, to the early silent movies, and into television.
