The Hazel theme music plays to an applauding audience as sixty-four
year old Shirley Booth steps up to the stage for her second Emmy
Award. As the character Hazel, her superb comedic and dramatic
skills resulted from arduous years of perfecting her minimalist
approach to acting. More than fifty years earlier, Shirley first
stepped onto the stage against the wishes of her father. How could
Shirley Booth achieve so much success as an actress, winning every
major acting award possible without formal dramatic training? Jim
Manago chronicles Shirley Booth's many years of radio broadcasting,
playing in stock theater roles, starring in successful and abortive
Broadway shows, to finally reach and go beyond her award winning
Broadway performance in Come Back, Little Sheba. "Love is the
Reason for it All...." takes the reader through her entire career.
This new biography of Shirley Booth examines the critical reception
to Shirley's performances, utilizes interviews with her friends and
associates, and most notably provides Shirley's own words to reveal
her distinct philosophy of life. This is Shirley Booth's inspiring
story of absolute determination to succeed despite any and all
troubles....
