The late Paul Green worked as an artist in the UK for Marvel, DC and World Distributors, among others, on titles such as Doctor Who, Rambo, Action Man, Wonder Woman and Star Trek. The author of many books about television and film history, he lived in Rustburg, Virginia.

“An overdue tribute to a lady and a legend...masterfully detailed...a literary work-of-art...with an uncommon combination of compassion and sensitivity, Paul Green critically uncovers the myths and mysteries behind one of classic cinema’s greatest unsung screen goddesses. Ultimately, he does more than analyze the fascinating career of a great actress; he helps us to understand the fragile humanity of a tragic genius.”—David Ybarra, Daeida Magazine; “the structure of Paul Green’s book is just perfect. Reading it is effortless and very entertaining. Paul’s conversational writing style makes you feel as if you are in that dark room with Jones when she decides to call her doctor to tell him that she’s checking out, so to speak. You also feel as if you are on the stage floor when she gets her Academy Award and you feel the depth of respect this award worthy biography embodies. Green’s respect for Jones is so evident, not crass and tacky like many biographies are today. This one belongs in every film school’s library, on the top of the list for must read biographies. This book captures in a very concise and readable way the life, loves and losses of a woman who we will never forget. This book is also something you will never forget. Its author’s critical eye and mind for details cannot be compared to any other. Paul Green hit this biography out of the poverbial park”—Canyon News.
