Publisher Description
From Tallulah Bankhead to Joan Crawford to the Kennedys and Madonna, the ultimate insider, Liz Smith has hobnobbed, air-kissed, and lunched with just about everybody who's been anybody over the last half-century--and then rushed to tell the world all about it. Now, in this candid, down-to-earth autobiography, she tells all about herself, and does it with the kind of style and warmth that has made her one of the most widely read columnists in history. Liz Smith wasn't always famous, and in Natural Blonde she revals how a young woman from rural Texas came to New York hell-bent on making something of her life. From her salad days as a small-time reporter and proofreader to her triumphs at the Daily News, Newsday, New York Post and her 1995 Emmy for reporting, Liz tells what it is really like to be seen and heard by millions of people every day. One of the most quoted people of our time, she offers a rare, private peek into the real person behind the witty quips and media coverage. Certainly one of the most eagerly anticipated autobiographies in years, Natural Blonde will give Liz Smith readers the item they've been waiting for--the ultimate inside scoop from the "Grande Dame of Dish."

Natural Blonde Listener Reviews
-
" A memoir written by one of the most enduring gossip columnists. Lots of inside info and some good stories. Liz comes off as being quite infatuated with herself; but she does seem to be as honest and upright as a gossip columnist is able to be. "

" Just a mindless read about celebrities of days gone by... "

" Fun read but this book begs for editing. Anyone that writes their life story and needs this many pages has to be a little full of themselves. "

" This should be between a two and a three stars. Listened to it while cleaning house (a bit of fluff to occupy my mind while dusting, mopping, etc...) and was surpised by a good deal of the first half. I think I enjoyed it more hearing it in her voice than I would have reading it in book form. "
