New Book: Empire of Dreams: The Epic Life of Cecil B. DeMille
The book was reviewed today by Tim Rutten in the Los Angeles Times.
I have several of Eyman's books, including PRINT THE LEGEND: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN FORD, LION OF HOLLYWOOD: THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF LOUIS B. MAYER, and ERNST LUBITSCH: LAUGHTER IN PARADISE.
Based on the quality of his previous work, I have every expectation that Mr. Eyman's new book on DeMille will be very much worth reading.

I shall have to get this - still waiting for the definitive biography of my favourite film director.
Robert Birchard's CBdM's Hollywood is a brilliant account of his career, but doesn't go into the life. Simon Louvish's biography a couple of years back was pretty terrible. The rest vary but none is substantial.
Could this be the one? Thanks for alerting me!
Thanks for the recommendation of CECIL B. DEMILLE'S HOLLYWOOD, Matthew, I've bookmarked that as well. I hope Eyman's book will be the one you're waiting for!
Best wishes,
Laura
