Book description
The glamorous extravagances and devasting lows of her time in Hollywood are revealed as never before in this "ambitious, thoughtfully researched" (Kirkus Reviews) biography of Dorothy Parker--from leaving New York City to work on numerous classic screenplays such as the 1937 A Star Is Born to the devastation of alcoholism, a miscarriage, and her husband's suicide. Parker's involvement with anti-fascist and anti-racist groups, which led to her ultimate blacklisting, and her early work in the civil rights movement that inspired her to leave her entire estate to the NAACP are also explored as never before. "Briskly detailed, fluently insightful, and dramatically reorienting" (Booklist, starred review), Dorothy Parker in Hollywood brings the iconic writer back to life on the page in all her wit, grit, and brilliance.
