Phantom Lady: Hollywood Producer Joan Harrison, the Forgotten Woman Behind Hitchcock by Christina Lane

5.0

Phantom Lady is an excellent biography written by Christina Lane. It is about the woman named Joan Harrison. She was Alfred Hitchcock's right hand. He would not have been Alfred Hitchcock without her and her screenwriting. She wrote the movie Rebecca (by Daphne Du Maurier) and many others. She eventually ventured out on her own away from Hitchcock and struggled to make a big name for herself; the recognition and credit she deserved. Although, there were many projects she was involved in she was not credited for many of them. However, throughout her career she succeeded and became the first powerful female producer in Hollywood.

I grew up watching many of the movies mentioned in this book. I am so glad to have learned the facts that were behind the scenes. I enjoyed this book. I recommend it.

Thank you Books Forward for this ARC.
