[a very nice copy, with no discernible wear to book, just touch of handling wear to the jacket]. (B&W photographs) Memoir by the daughter of screenwriter Nunnally Johnson (her "droll, charming, talented father -- a Thurberesque character in Hollywood") and Marion Byrnes ("her beautiful and erratic mother, a woman who fled the Los Angeles movie colony life but was unable to forget the husband who took her there"). Her "account of a childhood spent shuttling between Manhattan and Hollywood:" is also "a marvelous portrait of American life in the 1940s and 1950s -- from the movie lots of California to the cocktail parties of the Upper East Side -- and also a touching story of a shrewd, observant girl who would grow up far too fast."
