    that 2nd husband of hers, Will Price, was quite the "jerk"(I did sugar coat that statement).



    I wholeheartedly agree that Price was a sorry SOB. :lol: But why did she let him do her the way he did for ten long years. Since she was the one making the household a living, she should have booted his butt out the door ASAP.


    The first one wasn't much better, IMO.

    in various book the true character of John Ford is emerging.





    Not a very flattering picture, is it? He was a helluva film director but his personality stunk.

    I was disappointed in Herself's book. For a lady who projects such a strong screen image, she sure had a helluva time telling certain male rats who turned up in her life "No".


    I was also rather put off by some of the x-rated language she used. Though a military retiree and therefore no stranger to dirty language, I sure hate to hear such words out of the mouths of women, even in today's world of radical feminism.


    Unfortunately, I've always had a tendency to put females on a pedestal (my grandpa's chivalrous influence) and when said females cuss like sailors, I'm always greatly shocked and disillusioned.

    That works out to $17.00 or $19.50 depending on what type of shipping you use. Thanks Stumpy for the info.


    Well, being the "thrifty" shopper I am, Viper, I naturally ordered the book with S&H at $4.50, meaning my price will be $17.00. Every other place I checked was about $21.00 with S&H, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

    You "John Wayne" fans out there ; I just finished reading Chapter 24 "John Wayne. American" of Maureen O'Harra's new book and the book it is Great! Many great storys about Her and the Duke and their friendship and love for each other, and storys about John Ford, then the sad story of "The Duke" passing on!


    This is a must read for all the Duke and Maureen Fans. I am just starting to read it again for the second time! When you read Chapter 24 there will not be a Dry Eye in the house!! Chilibill :cowboy:


    Don't know how many of you folks paid full price for Maureen's book but chances are you paid too much. Check out this price. And then kick yourself. :lol:

    Stumpy; I just orderd a copy from Amazon for $17.50 plus postage. They say that it will be here in a few days, so it looks like the book is out. Chilibill :cowboy:


    Thanks, Bill. I'll gladly pay that amount but being somewhat of a cheapskate, I'm always looking to save a buck or two.

    I was there yesterday Stumpy but didn't see the book there yet.


    Thanks, my friend. I'll watch the local Sams for a week or so and if it doesn't turn up there guess I'll order it from Amazon. I really want to read it as Maureen has always been one of my favorite actresses and has been around Hollywood for a lonnnnnng time so she should have some tales to tell. She was also the Duke's favorite leading lady and one of his good friends so she can probably tell us things about him that we haven't heard before.
