Romanoff, Prince of Rogues
The Life & Times of a Hollywood Icon
by Jane Pejsa
"Pejsa's charting of the convoluted Romanoff story is an amply
documented and usefully indexed scream––highly entertaining reading on a
world-class flimflammer from a time when flimflam was in fullest flower."
Booklist, American Library Association
"Pejsa brings to her task a real gift for storytelling,
extensive research and scrupulous annotation. ... She has managed to enhance the
text with lots of photos of romanoff working his magic on the rich and
famous."
Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Jane Pejsa has written one hell of a good story, and it's all
true. ... Thank you, Jane Pejsa, for your diligent research, your sense of
history, and your vivid readability."
Orr Books
"It is impossible to understand the appeal of this charmer––and he had enormous
charm––if you start to analyze him as a merely
successful imposter. He was in his own person a marvelously sustained gag. He
did not pretend to be Prince Michael Romanoff of Russia. He pretended, and
managed, to be a great comic pretending to be Prince Michael Romanoff of Russia."
Alistair Cooke
"I don't remember Michael ever saying very much, but he
radiated such sweetness. ... He was a lovely man."
Mia Farrow
"... a superb actor who played a preposterous role, yet
carried it through consistently and with elegance."
Oleg Cassini
"I like Romanoffs because it's the only place to go. I like
Mike very, very much. He is a very entertaining, interesting, and kind man, a
civilized citizen. I can meet friends here. It's kind of like a club."
the late Humphrey Bogart
"A real prince is an accident. Mike made it by his own
efforts. It only goes to show what a good American boy can do if only he applies
himself."
the late Nunnally Johnson
"... never intoxicated, amusing and interesting, a very
likable chap."
the late Paul Mellon
