What's the most interesting biography you've read?”

I'm filling in for Diana who is having trouble starting threads again!! It's a great topic and I want her to have credit for it!!!

Mine is Alice Roosevelt Longworth! She is the oldest daughter of Teddy Roosevelt and his first wife Alice. She was a naughty girls by the standard back in those day but loved by the public!!!

Thanks for starting this thread for me Krissy. I can't figure out why I keep having this problem with starting threads. ARRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!!!!

 A couple I can think of off the top of my head is:

1. Two about, and written by, Marie Osmond (I just love her!)
2. An Evening With Cary Grant (Excellent!)

Will Hammond~ The French Lieutenant's man.. article on ~

John Fowles - The Journals, Vol 1.

My Life by Bill Clinton. It was a bit all over the place, but very interesting.

And I read one on Margaret Thatcher which was excellent.

The Barrymores!! Ethel, John and Lionel!! Very interesting!!

Oh and everything on Teddy Roosevelt!!! I love him!!!

Sue, I am reading her latest now!  It's lovely as is she! She's the kind of person you wish you knew in person...like you!

Diana, I'm sure I told you how a friend and I met her last year. She was so friendly! She talked to us for ages, and brother Jimmy came to let her know she had to leave as they had an appointment, but she kept on talking. In the end, Jimmy had to lead her away, and she was still talking to us over her shoulder.

She came across as genuinely friendly, I don't think she was 'putting it on for the fans'. And her live performance was outstanding (as was that of her brothers). She is a real entertainer.

I"m into this all the time with Genealogy...off the top of  my head, most likely Benjamin Franklin for beginners...George Rogers Clark is another one..Mother Theresa article's..there's many more. I liked the movie "Out of Africa" also, it's kind of old by now, and Sean Connery did an movie about being in the jungle and trying to find an cure for an disease off an insect I thought interesting...put the point across nicely..destroy even the smallest life form could be destroying an cure for the medical field. I was this morning listei to an biography Of
Jose Argules' and the year 2012.
