Natural Blonde

Now available in mass market, the incredible New York Times bestseller tells the life story of America's top gossip colmnist, Liz Smith, in her long-awaited autobiogrpahy.

Liz Smith, the "Grande Dame of Dish," has been covering the comings and goings of the rich and famous for more than four decades from her privileged front-row perch on the front lines of celebrity journalism.

From Tallulah Bankhead to Truman Capote, from Joan Crawford to Rock Hudson to the Kennedys, from Frank Sinatra to Julia Roberts and Tom Cruise . . . Liz, the ultimate insider, has hobnobbed, air-kissed and lunched with just about everybody who's been anybody over the last half-century -- and then rushed back on deadline to tell the world all about it.

Now -- with the kind of humor, warmth, and sense of fair play that made her one of the most widely read columnists in history comes the sensationally candid and down-to-earth memoir of a starstruck little tomboy from Fort Worth, Texas, named Mary Elizabeth Smith, who grew up to become the highest-paid print journalist in the world.
