Features: A poet once wrote such verses for his beloved: "You are the direction of the next generation of girls, the root of my illness, and the source of my poetry." Faye Dunaway, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor—these four names all deserve to be celebrated with those verses. However, upon closer examination, they are distinct. So, let’s read this book—different faces, different palm lines, different backdrops. The author, with a thoughtful heart, recorded every significant day in their lives, collected their own poems, and included songs written about them by others. In the end, their biographies bear witness to a lucid wish from a Yi Shu novel: "First, I want so much love, if not, it’s okay, I’ll want so much money, if money isn’t there either, it’s okay, I’ll want health, and having only health is good too." The author, with a thoughtful heart, traces each star from their childhood to the end of their lives—writing about their sudden and fleeting glories and warmth, yet the author always lingers on them—always wanting to portray them as perpetually happy. But they were merely once fortunate.
