Savage Detours cover

This is the first book-length study of the career and life of Ann Savage, whose performance in Detour earned her a place in Time Magazine's list of the top 10 greatest movie villains. The biography covers her abused childhood and her career as a studio contract player, pin-up queen, B movie star, jetsetter and award-winning aviatrix. A complete annotated filmography with release date, credits, cast, synopsis and commentary for each of her films is included.

“no other book has ever made me teary-eyed out of sheer joy...it’s a good one. The photos are simply mouthwatering...extraordinary...truly amazing...a wonderful, worthwhile book...best book of the year”—Classic Images; “briskly written, never dull or stodgy...an entertaining and informative read”—Scarlet.
