A Boy's Eye View Of World War Ii And Other Reminiscences Of Maryland's Eastern Shore Book

I heard tales about this legendary actress while I was working on the southern dinner theatre circuit several decades ago. So I was excited to learn that she had penned an autobiography. (Two, in fact.) This is the fascinating story of one of America's earliest sex change pioneers. She grew up wanting to be a woman of the times. But after she had her operation in the early sixties and began to fully live as a woman, all those expectations changed. And the men in her life also behaved in an unexpected ways. Usually badly. This is a soul searching account of what it means to be a woman in America. And she had an interesting if spotty career in the entertainment world, too.
