My Fifteen Minutes An Autobiography of a Warner Brothers
Child Star by Sybil Jason
"One of the neatest (and certainly most enjoyable) autobiographies you'll ever read is My Fifteen
Minutes: An Autobiography of a Child Star in the Golden Era of Hollywood by Sybil Jason. Sybil, one of the most talented child
actresses of the 1930s, knows what her fans want--stories, and lots of them, about all the famous people she worked with and
knew. This isn't a mudslinging tell-all; this ex-child star is--surprisingly and refreshingly--not bitter. She led a very
colorful life, and shares it with her readers." - Classic Images/Laura Wagner May 2005
