This book is about men I have known, in both the Platonic and
Biblical senses. Some I knew only slightly, some quite well. Some
I'll love always, some I no longer like very much, and there are a
few I'd like to strip naked, tie to a Maypole, smear with sweet
syrup near a beehive, then stand back and watch. I'll describe a
goodly number of these hot dudes--and duds--keeping the nicest man
for last because--if for nothing else--I'd like to leave you, dear
reader, with a good taste in your mouth, and Hubbies #3 and #4
might make you want to rush to gargle. There were times I truly
wondered, Lord, will I EVER get it right? Thank God I thrive on
variety. --From My First Five Husbands . . . And the Ones Who Got
Away 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
Who can forget Rue McClanahan as the sexy Southern vixen, Blanche
Devereaux, on the Emmy-award winning series The Golden Girls? With
her breezy sex appeal and sharp comedic timing, Rue infused her
character with a sassy joie de vivre that captured the hearts of
women everywhere. Now, the actress behind the magic 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 plays. 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, hustledher 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. Now
happily married to her soul mate, Husband #6, 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. Told
with Rue's saucy wit and Southern charm, My First Five husbands is
a deliciously entertaining take on life and love from an
irrepressible star.
