Sisters: The Story of Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine

[nice copy, top corner of front endpaper trimmed away but no other significant wear; the jacket is similarly nice, with some minor wrinkling along the top edge and a wiggly vertical surface-scratch line on the front panel]. (B&W photographs) A dual biography of the celebrated acting sisters and "their lifelong struggle for supremacy over each other." No doubt a dishy and entertaining read -- "tormented lives," "tragedy and triumph," and all that -- but author Higham's work, as usual, is best digested with a shaker full of grains of salt close at hand. (This is the guy, after all, who tried to peg Errol Flynn as a Nazi spy -- allegations that have been furiously and convincingly rebutted.)
