About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997. First edition of the actress and memoirist's biography of her parents, Bartley and Cutsie Crum. Octavo, original boards, illustrated with photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Andrew & Mariam - with admiration... Patricia Boswell." Fine in a fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Julie Metz. Author photograph by Kim Garnick. "A fine actress and a fine writer, Patricia Bosworth tells the extraordinary story of her lawyer father, Bartley Crum, and her consumer mother, Cutsie, a couple straight out of F. Scott Fitzgerald. But history and Cold War politics didn't allow them to be Scott and Zelda. Instead Catholic Bartley Crum played a significant role in the founding of Israel, defended blacklisted Hollywood artists and in general put marriage and family on the often quixotic line" (Gore Vidal).
