“Douglas McEwan has excelled himself. One of the most inspiring stories in the annals of frock-n-roll!”
—Dame Edna Everage
In the grand comic tradition of Patrick Dennis’s classic, Little Me, My Lush Life is the laugh-out-loud, hard-drinking, hard-loving “autobiograpy” of the Greatest Star Who Never Lived. So wicked, so real, so guilty in its pleasures, Tallulah Morehead’s life in Sunset Boulevard’s fast lane will make you feel as if you’re living every page—provided you bring your own cocktails…
“Vera Charles and Belle Poitrine, move over! Douglas McEwan has given us My Lush Life, a hysterically funny memoir of sodden, sex-crazed screen siren Tallulah Morehead. From beginning to end, this book had me laughing. What becomes a legend most? You’ll find out in My Lush Life.
I guarantee you’ll have a blast.”
—Ben Tyler
“Miss Tallulah Morehead’s story is a fantasy, a cautionary tale, and a riot. It’s Little Me crossed with Sunset Boulevard.”
—Michael Musto, The Village Voice
