Summary
"As a Ziegfeld Follies girl and film actress, Justine Johnstone was celebrated as "the most beautiful woman in the world." She abruptly retired from acting at 31. For the remainder of her life, she was a pathologist. The first full-length biography of Johnstone chronicles her extraordinary success in two male-dominated fields--show business and medical science"-- Provided by publisher
