"Alfred Hitchcock was fixated on the blond actresses who starred in many of his iconic movies. The lengths he went to in order to showcase--and often manipulate--these women would become the stuff of movie legend. But the women themselves have rarely been at the center of the story, until now. In Hitchcock's Blondes, Laurence Leamer offers an intimate journey into the lives of eight legendary actresses whose stories helped chart the course of the troubled, talented director's career. After all, "his" blondes knew the truths of his art, his obsessions and desires, as well as anyone"-- Back cover.
