About this ebook
From princesses to prostitutes to movie stars and supermodels, plus a few radicals and racecar drivers, Loose Cannons showcases hundreds of female movers-and-shakers, including Oprah Winfrey, Maria Callas, Michelle Pfeifer, and Catherine the Great, at their chatty, catty, and deliciously subversive best.
From the book:
"I'm the girl who lost her reputation and never missed it." -Mae West
"What do you expect me to do? Sleep alone?" -Elizabeth Taylor
