Reviews
Biographical works on over 900 celebrities in the fields of popular film, television, music, and sports are cited in this bibliography. Some celebrities chosen for inclusion were selected from the 1973 edition of the Celebrity Register, which accounts for the puzzling appearance of names like Mary Pickford and Betty Grable (both long deceased) in a work covering celebrities of "today." The most useful sections cite biographies of individual celebrities, though these are not annotated. Too wide a net is cast in the sections covering general sources, with too many entries and cluttering annotations for very familiar sources like Newsweek and Who's Who in America. The most valuable listings may well be those providing addresses of fan clubs, information which is often elusive. Indexes by subject, title, and name facilitate access. Despite the above noted reservations, this is recommended for popular biography collections.
