In this highly illustrated biography of one of the great divas of our time, Canales gives a comprehensive picture of the life of this unusually beautiful and talented woman. The author covers her personal life as well, especially the legal battles she waged, almost always successfully, against hacks in the media as well as against those who tried to question her integrity. Her bout with Hollywood machos is extremely well presented. What comes out is a Gina not to be under estimated or taken for granted. Strong-minded, Gina is not prone to compromises regardless of career or of other enterprises. In this book, Gina is imperial in evely dimeilsion and in the strictest meaning of the word. Few know, however, that besides being an international movie star, La Lollo was also a fine operatic singer, a consummate photographer, and a quiet philanthropist: her efforts in the fight against AIDS and, recently, her work on behalf of Mother Theresa in fighting poverty, are well known.
