The book chronicles the last four years of actress Blonde Bombshell Joi Lansing's life and her love relationship with author Alexis Hunter.
"Joi Lansing. ..A Body To Die For. A Love Story" colorfully chronicles personal and intimate details of the last four years of the talented 50's 'Blonde Bombshell' star's fascinating life. After three decades of successful TV and movie appearances and Vegas singing stardom, Ms. Lansing died far too young at just 43. Though her funeral was attended by luminaries of the day (Frank Sinatra sent a huge floral display), her light went out relatively unceremoniously. Always just on the verge of 'making it big,'Joi packed them in with standing room only in Vegas, but when the curtain came down and the audience was gone, who was she? Sadly, the only relationship where she was loved for the sweet,gentle woman she really was,the friendship that might have given her the strength to finally cross the finish line for that one moment of glory for which she had run since she began in show business as a little girl of 14, was ended at her death from breast cancer in the arms of her dear friend 'Rachel.'
"Author Alexis Hunter ('friend/baby sister') was the only person who really knew Joi and knew how she struggled with a suicide-obsessed self-image and deadly drug problem after being a child star where 'uppers' were a common way to keep kids working 20 hour days.
"Stunning black and white photos of Lansing by Maurice Seymour, the era's Superstar Photographer, make this book a collector's dream."
