About this product

Product Information

Rosemary Clooney made her first public appearance at the age of three, on the stage of the Russell Theater in her tiny hometown of Maysville, Kentucky, singing "When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver," an odd but perhaps prophetic choice for one so young. She has been singing ever since: on local radio; with Tony Pastor's orchestra; in big-box-office Hollywood films; at the Hollywood Bowl, the London Palladium, and Carnegie Hall; on her own television series; and at venues large and small across the country and around the world. The list of Rosemary Clooney's friends and intimates reads like a who's who of show business royalty: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Tony Bennett, Janet Leigh, Humphrey Bogart, and Billie Holiday, to name just a few. She's known enormous professional triumphs and deep personal tragedies. At the age of twenty-five, Rosemary Clooney married the erudite and respected actor José Ferrer, sixteen years her senior and light-years more sophisticated. Trouble started almost immediately when, on her honeymoon, she discovered that he had already been unfaithful. Finally, after having five children while she almost single-handedly supported the entire family and endured Ferrer's numerous, unrepentant infidelities, she filed for divorce. From there her life spiraled downward into depression, addiction to various prescription drugs, and then, in 1968, a breakdown and hospitalization. After years spent fighting her way back to the top, Rosemary Clooney is now married to one of her first and long-lost loves--a true fairy tale with a happy ending. She's been nominated for four Grammys in six years and has had two albums at the top of the Billboard charts. In the words of one of Stephen Sondheim's Follies showgirls, she could well be singing, triumphantly, "I'm still here!"

Items arrived exactly as described and in the photos. I bought glassware, and it's worth noting that the packaging was excellent, the box was clearly labelled "glass" and the items arrived intact. 10/10 would buy from again. Thank you!

    excellent read for a rosemary clooney fan

    To me Rosemary Clooney was one of the best singers ever. It's so easy to listen to her songs and see her facial expressions. It's like you can hear her smile and sometimes laughter on some of her songs. I have always enjoyed her singing and acting and this book is a must read for her fans.
