Little Me by Patrick Dennis

Little Me by Patrick Dennis

Back in print at last From the author of Auntie Mame the bawdy, bestselling, bountifully illustrated autobiography of an imaginary diva whose life is one hilarious mishap after another.

For Belle Poitrine, n e Mayble Schlumpfert, all the world's a stage and she's the most important player on it. At once coy and coercive, with a name that means beautiful bosom in French, she claws her way from Striver's Row to the silver screen. Recalling Belle's career, which ranged from portraying Anne Boleyn in Oh, Henry to roles in both Sodom and its sequel Gomorrah (not to mention the classic Papaya Paradise), Little Me serves up copious quanitites of husbands, couture, and Pink Lady cocktails, with international adventures and a murder trial to boot.

A runaway bestseller that made its way to Broadway, starring Sid Caesar in 1962 and Martin Short in 1998, Little Me is now reprinted--with all of the 150 historic, hysterical photographs depicting the funniest scenes from Belle's sordid life, including cameo appearances by the author and Rosalind Russell. Considered a collector's item, the first edition of Little Me was like a performance in book form. Now this glittering spoof of celebrity is gloriously reincarnated for connoisseurs of all things chick and cheeky.

Edward Everett Tanner III (1921-1976) was the pen name of Patrick Dennis, the fictional narrator of Auntie Mame and Little Me. Tanner wrote sixteen novels in total, the most of which were national bestsellers, and was one of the most eccentric, acclaimed, and widely read authors of the 1950s and 1960s.
