I read it quite a long time ago and would love to reread it.
Old stage actors of the 19th and early 20th centuries? Let me know what you have found that is good. I would love to find good biographies of Sarah Bernhardt, Lily Langtry, Ellen Terry, etc.
If you like Colette (somehow I suspect you do...), you might like Secrets of the Flesh by Judith Thurman. I feel though as you do about Millay's biographies when it comes to Colette-- nobody writes better about her than she does herself. Who needs anything else? Still, Thurman's book is quite good.
