Shocking True Story: The Rise and Fall of Confidential, "America's Most Scandalous Scandal Magazine" ReviewWith today's stars fighting for time on the TV talk show couches to capitalize on the skeletons they've unleashed from their own closets, hard to believe there was once a time when celebs cowered over the innocuous tidbits that for several years made Confidential the most notorious magazine in the country. But practically anyone remotely interested in celebrity journalism history and/or Hollywood pop culture of the Fifties is already well aware of the mag's lurid backstory, which was actually a lot more interesting than most of its "exposes" (in reality, often little more than smarmily-worded anecdotes, many of them excerpted here).
Kenneth Anger handily recapped Confidential's history in Hollywood Babylon 35 years ago and in the years since there have been any number of magazine articles, chapters in Hollywood tell-alls and at least one other entire book mining the same subject. As such, this is a well-researched read for the presumably very few scandal mag buffs who've somehow never heard of Confidential. But the real audience for this book (schlock culture buffs who are already very familiar with Confidential's skanky past) is bound to be disappointed--despite his best efforts, author has come up empty while digging around for much significant new dirt on this famously sleazy rag.
An index, references, several rarely-seen photos of the principals and great cover design are a plus, though.Shocking True Story: The Rise and Fall of Confidential, "America's Most Scandalous Scandal Magazine" Overview
