PRAISE FOR INSIDE THE HOLLYWOOD CLOSET

"Hollywood's global influence is far too big…also too far from being as realistic and fair-minded as it should be. Boze Hadleigh's books spotlight this and other glaring, sometimes shocking, often juicy facts."—Boy George

"If you do an update or sequel or whatever to your wonderful book, feel free to ask for a blurb, dear. Homophobia makes no sense whatever, and I'm always glad to speak out against it."—Bea Arthur

"It's important for the gay public and the general public to know how things have changed in the entertainment industry—and how they haven't."—Congressman Barney Frank

"Some people ask is there still a Hollywood closet? Are you kidding? Read on, Macduff!" —Kathy Griffin
