Betty Hutton was the top grossing female star at Paramount during much of the 1940s. At the top of her career, she was one of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood. She starred in movies such as "Annie Get Your Gun" and "The Greatest Show On Earth". Without warning, her career collapsed virtually overnight. Betty's rough childhood came back to haunt her, and along with it, an addiction to prescription pills that almost ended her life. Betty disappeared from the public eye, until 1974, when she was discovered living and caring for Priests in a Catholic Rectory in Rhode Island. Interest in her and her life returned to the forefront. She began writing this book in 1970, as a means to explain to her fans the chain of events that led to her downfall. Sadly, she never finished. After her death in 2007, the Betty Hutton Estate picked up where she left off, and finally completed her book. Almost 40 years after it was first started, Betty's real story is ready to be told! 432 pages, 70 photos
