Most biographical dictionaries only provide a bald and arid listing of their subjects' dates of birth, life histories and major achievements, offering scant idea of what the individuals were like as human beings - their appearance and habits, their tastes and idiosyncrasies. Private Lives in contrast, not only pins down the essential facts about more than 200 of the best-known personalities from all periods of history but also paints a behind-the-scenes, warts and all picture of them.
