This book was in-depth and a great gift for those with a passion for celebrities in eras that could act. This book consists of beautiful stills and movie shots that I have not scene together in one volume before. Again a great gift for those who are passionate on the subject.

Fun collective biography with an interesting gallery of subjects given the theme. Fidel Castro a heartthrob? Good for browsing and may spark enough curiosity to dig further in the lives of these figures.

An absolutely delightful take on history! I adored this book from the first page to the last. It provides a brief recounting of the lives of 50 of the most unique people ever to grace this planet. I'm not sure about the hotness factor of quite a few of them, but I loved that it included people known for their intellect and monogamy and not just historical hussies :) Well researched, well laid out, and charmingly informative. Introduced me to a few characters I had not met previously! Well Done!

I enjoyed this book, it was a fun, quick read. I like that the author did extensive research and found the historical passages adequate. I found out information that was new to me, along with what everybody knows. I would look foreward to more books by this author.
