In 1932, starlet Carlotta Monti met Fields on a back lot at Paramount. For the next fourteen years, she was his mistress, sharing his bed, board and bar in a series of rented mansions. She witnessed his bickering with directors and studios, his exuberant pranks and verbal fireworks. She was there until the tragic end of his battle with alcohol. This insightful memoir is packed with bizarre anecdotes, exclusive reminiscences and often ribald glimpses into the private life of one of Hollywood's most outrageous personalities. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
