From the dawn of the studio system to the decade it all came crashing down, Hedda Hopper was one of the Queens of Hollywood. Although she made her name as a star of the silent screen, she found her calling as a gossip columnist, where she had the ear of the most powerful force in show business: the public. With a readership of 20,000,000 people, Hopper turned nobodies into stars, and brought stars to their knees. And in this sensational memoir, she tells all. In her career, Hopper crossed some of Hollywood’s biggest bold-faced names, from Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn to Charlie Chaplin and Joseph Cotten, and her feud with rival gossip columnist Louella Parsons became the stuff of legend. In The Whole Truth and Nothing But, we get Hedda’s side of the story—and what a story it is. Hedda Hopper is portrayed by Judy Davis in the Ryan Murphy TV series Feud about Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.

"On each of his many now famous journeys throughout the world, John Paul II has sought the occasion to address himself familiarly to university students and, more academically, to faculties and administrations.... These addresses and talks are a rich source of teaching of particular interest to anyone personally concerned with about what a university is and ought to be, of how Christianity relates directly and indirectly to academic life and the persons engaged in it. The most common theme we find in John Paul's talks to university students is a personal one, wherein he reminds them to ask themselves who they are, to know the whole truth about themselves and man, a truth that must include the truth about God."--From the introduction and dust jacket.
