All Glammed Up
By James Abbe (1921)
The Whole Truth and Nothing But, Hedda Hopper
The Whole Truth and Nothing But is Hedda Hopper’s candid, sharp-tongued memoir of life inside Hollywood’s glittering and unforgiving spotlight.
Born in small-town Pennsylvania and driven by ambition, Hopper rose from chorus girl to one of the most powerful gossip columnists in America. For decades, her words could shape reputations, launch careers, or bring the secrets of the movie industry into the public eye. In this lively and often unapologetic account, she recounts her early struggles, her rise in show business, and her transformation into a feared and influential voice in Hollywood journalism.
Drawing on personal relationships and behind-the-scenes access, Hopper shares stories of the stars she knew, the scandals she broke, and the personalities who defined the golden age of film. From Elizabeth Taylor’s turbulent romances to the pressures of fame faced by Marilyn Monroe and other icons, the book offers a revealing look at the power, glamour, ambition, and loneliness behind the Hollywood dream.
Written in a bold, conversational style, The Whole Truth and Nothing But captures the voice of a woman who believed in telling the story as she saw it, even when the truth made enemies. Part memoir, part insider history, and part social chronicle, it remains a fascinating portrait of celebrity culture at its most influential moment.
Perfect for readers interested in Old Hollywood, celebrity history, media influence, and the personalities who shaped American popular culture.
