Gil-Montero, Martha Brazilian Bombshell: The Biography of Carmen Miranda
New York Donald I. Fine, Inc. (c.1989) 1-55611-128-2 / 9781556111280 First Edition Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj
[slight bumping/cracking to bottom corners, otherwise a nice clean copy; jacket has one tiny at top of front panel, no other significant wear]. (B&W photographs) You might just think of Carmen Miranda as "The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat," but the author (who shares her subject' s Latin American background) has "gone behind the gaudy facade to find a complex, sometimes tormented woman who in later life struggled to find love and security in an alien land, who struggled too with the very real problem of who she was, a struggle cut short by her death alone in her home in Beverly Hills in 1955. [The author] has revealed a woman far ahead of her time, and written a portrait that is both a revelation and a loving tribute to the public and private woman."
