Book Description Black Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Minimal wear to jacket. Brenda Forbes calls upon the eloquence of her theatrical voice to tell a story of passion and professionalism - the fascinating tale of her own success as a Broadway actress. Brenda grew up in modest surroundings in World War I-era London. There, as a young girl, she longed to see her glamorous and beautiful actress mother, Mary Forbes, often far away at work in Hollywood. Brenda's own innate talent gained her an apprenticeship - and valuable stage experience - at the Old Vic. Her next stop was America, and by 1931 she had her first success on Broadway. During World War II, Brenda joined the cast of a revival production of 'The Barretts' that performed in Europe for US troops, often travelling perilously close to the front lines. And also during the 1940s, Brenda's critically acclaimed performances in Nancy Hamilton's musical revues earned her permanent recognition as a versatile comic actress. Seller Inventory # 004401
