Kay Thompson
Kay Thompson is perhaps best known as the author of the classic Eloise books, but as this hugely entertaining biography makes clear, that was only one chapter in her incredibly storied life. Before that, she reigned as Hollywood royalty, mentored Judy Garland, coached Frank Sinatra, and played godmother to Liza Minnelli. She also got her first big break from Bing Crosby, trained Marilyn Monroe, romanced Andy Williams, rejected Andy Warhol, got fired by Howard Hughes, costarred in a whodunit with Ronald Reagan and stole the spotlight from Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in the film Funny Face.
Written by Hollywood director Sam Irvin, Kay Thompson is as hilariously entertaining as this showbiz legend herself. You’ll love every word.
