Working Without a Net: My Intimate Memoirs

Touchingly signed and inscribed by the author, actress/broadcaster Lynne Gordon, on the half title page. Book in excellent condition; price-clipped dust jacket shows light shelf wear. All detail inquiries welcome.

The remarkable story of a dynamic woman, Working Without a Net recounts the life of actress, media personality, author (Consumer's Handbook 1975, 1980), and feminist, Lynne Gordon. Familiar to radio listeners for her outspoken consumer shows and, recently, to television viewers as Anna Ciccone on Seeing Things, American-born Gordon is less well known for her earlier achievements in the United States. These include successful stage and advertising careers, and a spectacular libel suit in which Gordon, and her then husband John Henry Faulk, triumphed over, and thus helped to discredit, the McCarthy-era blacklisters. Interwoven with these stories are the candid details of Gordon's stormy personal life, of her encounters with the rich and famous, and of the other events that helped to shape her feminist outlook.' - Leslie McGrath
