The book has fourteen chapters, each devoted to a different celebrity or scandal. Stars of the silent screen such as Rudolph Valentino and Clara Bow (The 'It' Girl), early talking film stars and stars like Marlon Brando that started in black and white films and survived the transition to color.
Not just a collection of clippings from gossip columns, the stories include what was happening in politics, history and Hollywood, informing about the time and place as well as the events - some not so scandalous by today's standards, but shocking and, in some cases, career ending in their day.
