Description

Book Synopsis
Martin and Osa Johnson thrilled American audiences of the 1920s and 30s with their movies of far-away places, exotic peoples, and the dramatic spectacle of African wildlife. Their own lives were as exciting as their movies. Probing beneath the Johnsons' public image, Pascal and Eleanor Imperato explore the more human side of the couple's lives.
