|Affair of the Heart,
I love to go to the movies. Frankly who does’t, and even though one thinks that there are many books out there that talk about the movies, but this book gives the reader a lot more. Each page is filled with tid bits and gossip, and dates with information that you normally would not find somewhere in a book.
