I learned a little about her and her mysterious disappearance in this short book. But typical of Charles Rivers books, the first half detailing her life and some of the theories of her disappearance was confusing and lacked more details. Too many names suddenly appeared page by page with no explanation of their inclusion. Also facts not relevant at all were included. Most notably the mention of actor Kirk Alyn because he simply shared a name of a potential suspect but otherwise had nothing to do with the mystery. This was often confusing and did little to tell the story of Jean Spangler. The second half redeemed itself by providing details of suspects and plausible theories into her vanishing. In the end more questions than answers were the result. Still, it opened a new mystery I will no doubt read more on with interest.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Better than most C.R.E. bookletsBy weebiscuitJean Spangler was a Hollywood "wannabe" starlet and exotic dancer who led a rather loose life (which by today's standards probably wouldn't be considered loose), and disappeared without a trace.This was one of Charles River Editor's better-written books. Most are full of typos and grammatical errors and are haphazardly written. This one is much more coherent than usual. However, there are so many names thrown into this booklet that may have crossed someone's radar when Spangler went missing as to make it somewhat confusing. Why they didn't also include the mailman, the garbage man, the bank teller, and the cashier at the local Jewel-Tea is beyond me, because they sure included everyone else.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SAME SAD STORYBy 91185I had never heard of this woman before, so it was kind of interesting to learn her story. Unfortunately, it is the same old story of "star-eyed girls" in Tinsel Town looking for money and fame, in all the wrong places, and in all the wrong ways.

It will work best this way while mother is away," ndash; An unfinished letter found in Spanglerrsquo;s purse after her disappearanceThe Hollywood culture of the 1940s served as a symbol of fantasy for a country at war. The American population, steeped in a dark global reality, lived vicariously through the film industryrsquo;s fantasy offerings on the big screen, and eagerly embraced the advent of television in the latter part of the decade. On the stage, images of idealized feminine beauty thrived in the Ziegfeld Follies tradition, Radio City Music Hall, , and the fantastical world created by Earl Carroll in his Hollywood theater. The marketing of American fantasy made for a spectacular outward show, but the interior of Hollywoodrsquo;s entertainment industry was at the same time experiencing its most corrupt decade. Mob bosses vied for power over the drug, alcohol, prostitution, and ldquo;protectionrdquo; markets interconnected with the larger Hollywood image, and for women trying to get ahead in the movie or stage business, the environment was a dangerous one. Beauties came from all over the country to take their chance with fame, but for several, being abducted and gruesomely murdered was the best they could do to attain name recognition. Beginning with the mid-decade murder of actress Elizabeth Short, dubbed the , a series of murders thought to be the serial work of one perpetrator became emblematic of Hollywoodrsquo;s hidden dangers.The mysterious case of actress and dancer Jean Spangler remains one of the most enduring such riddles in the annals of Hollywood crime. The nature of the case itself still evokes a public fascination many decades after her disappearance. Spangler found herself in southern as a beautiful actress and dancer trying to land movie roles, a common story among the many young women gravitating to American entertainment centers from more conservative towns and cities. As a high-profile celebrity event, Spanglerrsquo;s case does not match the sensationalism attributed to figures such as Amelia Earhart, who sought to circumnavigate the globe by air, the political importance of union boss Jimmy Hoffa, or the fate of Judge Crater, a likely victim of the New York underworld. However, the Spangler story differs in that it carries no dearth of rational possibilities or relevant clues with which to accommodate all of the leading theories. In fact, in the minds of investigators, the difficulty of finding the best path to pursue was that there were ldquo;too many good clues, pointing in different directions.rdquo; Likewise, where Earhart, Hoffa, and Crater intentionally pursued goals with inherent hazards, Spangler was publicly perceived as a professional if not personal innocent, hoping to make a living and to be discovered for greater things.The Disappearance of Jean Spangler: The History of One of Hollywoodrsquo;s Most Enduring Unsolved Mysteries looks at the life of Jean Spangler and the mysterious events behind her disappearance. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Jean Spangler like never before, in no time at all.
