<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Who can forget McClanahan as the sexy Blanche Devereaux on "The Golden Girls"? The actress behind the magic reveals her life in and out of the spotlight in this laugh-out-loud funny memoir about love, marriage, men, and getting older that is every bit as colorful as the characters she plays.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Rue McClanahan, best known for her portrayal of Blanche Devereaux on the Emmy-award winning series <i>The Golden Girls</i> reveals her life in and out of the spotlight in a laugh-out-loud funny memoir about love, marriage, men, and getting older that is every bit as colorful as the characters she played.</b> <i><br></i><br>Raised in small-town Oklahoma in a house "thirteen telephone poles past the standpipe north of town," Rue developed her two great passions--theater and men--at an early age. She arrived in New York City in 1957 with two-weeks worth of money in her pocket, hustled her way into a class with the legendary Uta Hagen, and began working her way up in the acting world against the vibrant, free-spirited backdrop of the sixties. That's when she met and married Husband #1--a handsome rogue of an aspiring actor who quickly left her with a young son. Still, she was determined to make it on the stage and screen--and in the years that followed, rose to the top of the entertainment world with a host of adventures (and husbands) along the way. <p/>From her roles on Broadway opposite Dustin Hoffman and Brad Davis, to her first television appearances on <i>Maude</i> and <i>All in the Family</i>, <i> </i>to the <i>Golden Girls </i>era and beyond, <i>My First Five Husbands</i> is the irresistible story of one woman's quest to find herself. Rue is proof that many things can and do get better with age--and that, if she keeps her wits about her, even a small-town girl can make it big. <p/>People always ask me if I'm like Blanche. And I say, 'Well, Blanche was an oversexed, self-involved, man-crazy, vain Southern Belle from Atlanta--and I'm not from Atlanta!'" --Rue McClanahan<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"McClanahan's unpretentious candor and wit reveal an irrepressible personality full of vitality and determination." --<i>BookPage</i> <p/>"Fans will relish her sweet and tart memories" --<i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i>"Like a night out with the <i>Golden Girls." </i>--<i>Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rue McClanahan </b>was born in Healdton, Oklahoma, and graduated cum laude in theater from the University of Tulsa.
