520 $a"Ruth Gordon has been an actress since 1915 and her renown and activity on screen and stage have never been greater than they are now [1970], in her 75th year. She has also written successful plays and movies. She is a wife and mother, and she has attracted a staggering number of friends and admirers on two continents. Out of her experiences and particularly out of her fantastic friendships she has written an absolutely distinctive, irrepressibly bright, refreshingly vital and utterly charming book. Since it is a kind of autobiography, Miss Gordon is inevitably the star, but she shares the lights with one of the most fascinating casts ever assembled (see back of jacket). She knows how to convey the essence of things as they were half a century ago--and as they are right now--in the theater and the movies, in Boston and Hollywood, in London and New York, in shops and restaurants, in manners and morals, in the ways people feel and the even more surprising ways they behave. Nobody is like Ruth Gordon, and no book is quite like this one."--Jacket flap.
