Well, I personally will certainly be having a look at Shawn Levy's bio of Paul; he was writing it before Paul's cancer was announced, so it'll be interesting to see if the tone of the bio noticibly changes. I've also heard some good buzz about it, so I'm hoping that it's out in Australia, pronto!
I've never read anything of Quirk's that wasn't filled with lazy writing, hearsay and an unpleasant tone towards his subject that makes you wonder why on earth he's writing the book in the first place. I've never been able to get my hands on Quirk's first bio on Paul, but I had the displeasure of reading his bio about Robert, and by God it was nasty!
I found "Brando Unzipped" to be an entertaining read, but I took all of it with a grain of salt, frankly. Although I must admit, I am curious as to what the other, more detailed link has to say about Porter's bio on Paul. I'm a sucker for punishment! ;) Would you mind sending it to me, please, Morgan?

Some of those names I would believe. Others, not so sure. I don't think he even knew Crawford, Turner and Hepburn.
