[no significant wear to book, but a bit of foxing on top of the text block; the jacket shows only some very light wear along the top edge]. (B&W photographs) "Daughter of the noted author and critic Gilbert Seldes, [the author] knew from childhood that she wanted to act and was introduced to the world of the stage by Katharine Cornell, Guthrie McClintic and Robert Edmond Jones. How she went on to become an actress, and what it is really like to be in the theatre today -- as an actor's actor, who has done important work with some of the greatest figures of the modern stage -- is the subject of this absorbing book." (And isn't it a little sad that such an important and talented person, who died in 2014, will not be long remembered simply because, for all the outstanding work in the theatre (and her influence as a longtime faculty member at the Juilliard School), she left very little behind in the way of substantial film and TV work)
