About This Book

The memoir recounts the columnist's childhood in a large Pennsylvania family, escape to the stage, marriage and adopted professional name, and development into a prominent Hollywood gossip writer. It interweaves personal family stories, accounts of friendships and quarrels with movie stars, anecdotes about her son's acting career, reflections on mortality and funeral wishes, and behind-the-scenes episodes that illuminate mid‑century celebrity life and the author's role as an insider observer.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Obvious typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

All of the photographs are in one section, as they were in the original book. Originally, the section followed the first page of Chapter Ten, but to avoid disrupting the flow of reading, in this eBook, that section has been moved to precede Chapter Ten.

In the original book, there usually were 2-4 photographs per page, with descriptions for all of them in the middle of the page. Here, the photographs are separate and contiguous with their descriptions. References such as left/right/above/below have been removed from those descriptions, as they are not needed here.
