Hollywood is rife with unsolved crimes and murders. Some of the greatest heroes and most well-known characters throughout the history of the film-making world have been lost at an early age because of circumstances that are, at the very least, highly coincidental and, at the most, murderous. These crimes encompass such well-known actors and actresses as Jean Harlow, Thelma Todd, and Natalie Wood. Yet these are still only a few of the many who have suffered greatly in the spotlight and whose deaths have never yet been solved. True Hollywood Noir is all about how many Hollywood stars have hidden their pasts and changed the way that the world runs.

If you’re interested in Hollywood and the stars who make their living there then this is definitely a book you’ll want to read. There are many crimes that have occurred in Hollywood and not all of them have been reported the way that they really happened. A lot of them may not even have been solved though they occurred many years ago. Hollywood is definitely not the amazing, perfect place that so many people think that it is. There’s definitely a lot going on behind the scenes with all of the stars. Some of the biggest mysteries, craziest murders, jealous lovers, and most closely guarded secrets are in Di Mambro’s True Hollywood Noir. Dina Di Mambro has composed a very interesting account of true crime, murder, mayhem, and the price some will pay for their fame.
