Book Presentation:
Born Joan Lucille Olander in a small South Dakota town, Mamie Van Doren rose to "Blonde Bombshell" status in Hollywood when she signed with Universal Pictures in 1953, right on the heels of Marilyn Monroe. This comprehensive biography explores Van Doren's early life and career, spanning from her start as a bit player in Howard Hughes' Jet Pilot to her significant role as the last surviving member of Hollywood's famous "Three M's": Mamie Van Doren, Marilyn Monroe, and Jayne Mansfield. A complete filmography lists Van Doren's roles in film and television. Entries include a plot synopsis, cast and crew details, and in many instances recent and contemporary reviews.
About the Author:
Writer Barry Lowe lives in Malta.
Press Reviews:
"The author does much to banish the myth of Mamie being another version of the hollywood blonde (Marilyn, Jayne etc). She was way out there on her own and way ahead of her time - her beauty style and choice of film roles far removed from the her fellow actresses." Miss Swingin' Elsinby 1969
