Hollywood film star Loretta Young's eldest son, Christopher Lewis, hosts a brief biography of his mother's life and career.
Loretta married producer Tom Lewis in 1940 and they divorced very bitterly in the mid 1960s. Lewis died in 1988. They had two sons, Peter Lewis (of the San Francisco rock band Moby Grape), and Christopher Lewis, a film director.
Christopher Lewis and his wife, Linda, were somewhat responsible for bringing about Loretta's authorized biography, for it was through them that the biographer, Joan Wester Anderson, was brought into Loretta's life. They had contacted her about a different writing project, and when Loretta met Miss Anderson, she liked her and asked her to write her biography, which of course, Miss Anderson did. "Forever Young, the Life, Loves, and Enduring Faith of a Hollywood Legend." (I learned that information in the book's foreword.)
