My First Five Husbands...And the Ones Who Got Away
Author: Rue McClanahan
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0767927796
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Rue McClanahan, best known for her portrayal of Blanche Devereaux on the Emmy-award winning series The Golden Girls reveals her life in and out of the spotlight in a laugh-out-loud funny memoir about love, marriage, men, and getting older that is every bit as colorful as the characters she played. Raised in small-town Oklahoma in a house “thirteen telephone poles past the standpipe north of town,” Rue developed her two great passions—theater and men—at an early age. She arrived in New York City in 1957 with two-weeks worth of money in her pocket, hustled her way into a class with the legendary Uta Hagen, and began working her way up in the acting world against the vibrant, free-spirited backdrop of the sixties. That’s when she met and married Husband #1—a handsome rogue of an aspiring actor who quickly left her with a young son. Still, she was determined to make it on the stage and screen—and in the years that followed, rose to the top of the entertainment world with a host of adventures (and husbands) along the way. From her roles on Broadway opposite Dustin Hoffman and Brad Davis, to her first television appearances on Maude and All in the Family, to the Golden Girls era and beyond, My First Five Husbands is the irresistible story of one woman’s quest to find herself. Rue is proof that many things can and do get better with age—and that, if she keeps her wits about her, even a small-town girl can make it big. People always ask me if I'm like Blanche. And I say, 'Well, Blanche was an oversexed, self-involved, man-crazy, vain Southern Belle from Atlanta—and I'm not from Atlanta!’” —Rue McClanahan

One Got Away
Author: Chaharika Uppal
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1647836646
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
One Got Away is a collection of eleven short stories, originally planned as twelve; however, one got away. The collection features gripping stories of people stuck in the Quick Sands of Times from an unusual observer’s perspective. The title is a reflection of the compilation, in that the common strain of the stories is the complex environment of ambiguity, insecurity and uncertainty, which we as civil people weave around ourselves. Society has quintessentially imposed on its membership diktats and conventions, which lodge themselves in the subconscious, only to play merry hell with the mind and the body. Resultantly, a person is forever at war within and faces multiple battles without. Was this the mission statement when we set out to create civil society?
