YOU'RE ONLY HUMAN ONCE

Informal, entertaining autobiography of an ambitious girl from Tennessee who became a star in musical comedy, concert, opera, moving pictures and radio. She balanced a professional life with full savoring of social life, travel, marriage, cooking; she mixed the serious and the comic. A whirlwind narrative, not overlooking her temperamental difficulties, her battles against physical disabilities -- and today her work in camps and service appearances. Names in bigtime show business, social, artistic, musical, the whole a pattern of ""it-happened-to-me"" -a good time had by all.
