Bring on the Empty Horses

I enjoy reading biographies, because it makes humans of celebrities. I often forget that there is a life, a normal life, behind that facade of stardom.
David Niven writes nicely, with compassion and understanding, but... he doesn't seem to much care about women, women's POV, women's experiences, women's opinions. And that bothers me.

Another wonderful collection of stories from Niven's experiences in movie-land. Some sweet, some sad, many hilarious and often unbelievable. He is generous with his memories and this was a joy and a privilege to read. I'd love to sit and listen to him regale in person - look up his delightful appearances on Parky for examples.
