I was thinking about buying Leonard Matlin's book. I see it was updated in 1992. Are there any new editions in the works (before I buy the 1992 version)??

I haven't heard anything about a new edition, unfortunately. They need to update it. Much has happened since the latest one.

If they do, they had better correct their Jean Darling bio. She has stated on several occasions that some of their information is incorrect. Richard Bann, the co-author of the book, has acknowledged the mistake.
Having said that, yes, an update would be nice. I just bought the 1992 version earlier this year, but I would buy a revision if one came out.
Perhaps we could start a petition among the posters here and on the Our Gang Follies newsgroup? Mark, can you arrange something like that? Think it would work?

What information about Jean in it is incorrect?

They got her first film wrong, and they incorrectly stated that she played a mermaid in "Bride of Frankenstein" - a film in which she claims she never appeared, for starters.
If you are not a member of the Our Gang Follies newsgroup, you might consider joining. Jean is a regular poster in that group, and has sometimes talked about things in the book that are wrong.
