Still Here is the first full telling of Elaine Stritch's life. Rollicking but intimate, it tracks one of Broadway's great personalities from her upbringing in Detroit during the Great Depression to her fateful move to New York City, where she studied alongside Marlon Brando, Bea Arthur, and Harry Belafonte. We accompany Elaine through her jagged rise to fame, to Hollywood and London, and across her later years, when she enjoyed a stunning renaissance, punctuated by a turn on the popular television show 30 Rock. We explore the influential--and often fraught--collaborations she developed with NoeÌl Coward, Tennessee Williams, and above all Stephen Sondheim, as well as her courageous yet flawed attempts to control a serious drinking problem. And we see the entertainer triumphing over personal turmoil with the development of her Tony Award-winning one-woman show, Elaine Stritch at Liberty, which established her as an emblem of spiky independence and Manhattan life for an entirely new generation of admirers. In Still Here, Alexandra Jacobs conveys the full force of Stritch's sardonic wit and brassy charm while acknowledging her many dark complexities. Following years of meticulous research and interviews, this is a portrait of a powerful, vulnerable, honest, and humorous figure who continues to reverberate in the public consciousness."--Publisher's website. 600 10 $a Stritch, Elaine. 650 0 $a Actresses $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Singers $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015242.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055713.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021102.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529020334.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191205010612.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20191203013404.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191105014351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43A19FA0FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
