| User Reviews |  | Bain was a good friend for Veronica to have in her corner! A sad, well-written tale ...
rating: 5
This author has had a fascinating life as a writer. Like millions of other people, the MURDER SHE WROTE series is one of my favorites. He wrote many of those plus other books, including VERONICA, the biography of the 40s star Veronica Lake.
Veronica of the famous Peekaboo Hair was one of my favorites during my youth in Ohio. And, yes, I was one of those "chicks" who emulated her hairdo.
I always appreciate hearing behind-the-scenes tidbits about books, and this short article gave me a glimpse of Veronica that I had never known. I knew she died much too soon and that her life after Hollywood was mostly downhill. It was enlightening to hear about it first-hand by the man who wrote her bio and became good friends with her through the ensuing years. Donald Bain's depth of compassion and his character shine through in the things he did for her when so many "fair-weather friends" let her down.
Thanks, Mr. Bain, for sharing your observations with the world. I look forward to reading Veronica if your dream of getting it republished comes true. Meanwhile, I plan to read your current book, MURDER HE WROTE, about your writing life, your trials and successes.
RONNIE AND ME is a sad, but oh-so-realistic story. I highly recommend it; only wish it were longer.
