The New Book About Sharon
The New Book about Sharon
If you are a fan of Sharon's you will be interested to hear about the
new book by Greg King. He needs your info. and comments on Sharon.
Below is what Greg e mailed me to post on my site.
Please give him your feedback, he would appreciate it!!!
I am presently researching and writing a biography of Sharon, for
publication in summer, 1999. This will be the first attempt to tell her
complete story, with the focus largely on her life and career.
Although her death will be discussed it will not be the main focus
of the book. Instead I will concentrate on her childhood, her
youth, her time in Hollywood and London, her films, her
relationship with Roman Polanski, and her friendships.
The goal is to help rescue something of Sharon for history -
to disassociate her name from those of her killers. I would like
to portray her as a woman, an actress, a wife, daughter, sister,
friend, and mother-to-be, rather than a victim. To this end, I am
seeking information and material revelent to Sharon's life and
career. Although my own collection is quite large, I am aware of
the numerous holes in Sharon's life, particularly her early years,
and will be attempting to describe as much as possible of those
missing links.
I am also interested in hearing views of those who, like myself,
feel a special connection to Sharon, particularly in discussing
the various aspects of her life and death. I wish to encourage a
dialogue, and am completely open to suggestions and ideas. I am
also seeking research material, and will make suitable arrangements
with those willing to share their own collections with me. I want
to involve as many of you as possible in this project, and everyone
will be recognized in the final published work.
I have written three previous royal biographies, and have a fourth
- on the Duchess of Winsor - being published this fall. I hope to
bring the same sense of serious history and biography to Sharon's life.
Please feel free to contact me at: madking@seanet.com
and I will be happy to further discuss details with you, and also
delineate the sorts of materials, interviews, videotapes, etc.,
that I am seeking to help complete my portrait of Sharon's life
and career.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Greg King
