Richard de Mille

4.9/5 (34128 ratings)

Description:Richard de Mille was raised in the luxurious eccentricity of Hollywood, as the adopted son of Cecil B. de Mille and his wife, Constance. He continued to wonder about his birth parents, though, particularly given the odd hints that were dropped by people close to his family and his startling physical similarities to his grandfather. After sixty years of of pursuing his secret mother, de Mille now writes the true story of her life and of the perfect conspiracy that made him a full but far from ordinary member of the de Mille family. That lost mother turned out to be Lorna Moon, a newspaper-woman, screenwriter, and bestselling novelist, a woman who had been born in a village in the north-east of Scotland but who had changed her name and built her career to become an exotic figure in the Hollywood of the silent film era. She lived about a mile from the house in which de Mille grew up and had a love affair with his uncle, William, that produced the infant boy who was adopted by Cecil and Constance in 1922.De Mille recalls growing up in the rarefied air of privileged Hollywood with humor and insight, and offers rare, very human inside portraits of the people among whom he was raised. Immaculately researched and sensitively told, this is a story that is both memoir and mystery, with a serious sense of history and a charming sense of humor.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
