Seeing as there are little or no biographies out there about Lupe Velez, I guess this one will have to do. The book seems to concentrate more on her directors, costars, lovers, etc. with only little snippets about Lupe herself. I wish I could say I completely loved this book, but...nah...

After reading posted reviews, I was hesitant to purchase this book. After my wife gave it to me Christmas 2000, I was very pleasantly surprized to find myself reading such details of Lupe's life and those of her lovers that I had to finish that very night. It was somewhat convoluted when concerning the lives of so many people but after all, the title IS "Lupe Velez and Her Lovers". I was neither disappointed nor surprised to be reading details of Gary, Russ, Jimmy, Johnny, Carole, et al. These people were intregal parts of her life, all contributing to her happiness, her misery, her excitable personality. One irritant constant throughout the book was the writer's insistence on using her full name when referring to her. That, coupled with a few grammatical errors, are my only negative impressions of the entire book.

This is one of the most disappointing biographies I have read in a long time. Lupe Velez was one of the most exciting and colourful characters in Hollywood and this book told us more about her co-stars than about her. Don't know how the author managed to get a publisher.

The great Lupe Velez deserves a good biography, but this ain't it. To paraphrase the late Mrs. Parker, "this is not a book to be tossed aside lightly. It is to be thrown with great force."
