An Oscar-winning Best Actress for her tour-de-force role in ""Come
Back, Little Sheba"", Shirley Booth would ultimately win every
major acting award that could be bestowed on an actress. Awarded
three Tony Awards, two Emmys, and a Golden Globe, Booth was
described by the judges at the Cannes Film Festival as 'The World's
Best Actress.' Yet today fans know her best as the warm-hearted,
busybody maid of television's ""Hazel"".This, the first biography
of the beloved star, provides complete coverage of a career that
encompassed theater, film, radio, and television, and co-stars such
as Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. It begins with Shirley's
childhood in Brooklyn, and her rebellious decision to become an
actress against the wishes of her strict father. Included is
complete coverage of her tumultuous marriage to radio comedian Ed
Gardner (of ""Duffy's Tavern"" fame), and a second, happier union
that ended abruptly with her husband's death of a heart attack.
Readers of this exhaustively researched biography will come to know
a versatile and gifted star whose career spanned almost 60 years.
Appendices provide extensive details of her Broadway, film, radio
and television (episode-by-episode) credits.
