Irene Dunne: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in the Performing Arts)
by Margie Schultz
Category: Biography & Autobiography

Often called the "First Lady of Hollywood," Irene Dunne juggled comedies, dramas, and musicals with aplomb, and all three genres were represented in her five Academy Award nominations. Her television career was equally successful, and she was active in many civic and philanthropic causes, even serving as an alternate delegate to the United Nations. All aspects of her career--on stage and screen, in radio, television, and recordings--are documented, analyzed, and carefully indexed in this first in-depth study of her work. A biographical overview features reminiscences from notable colleagues, and an annotated bibliography records the diverse writings by and about her, with a list of magazine covers appended. Photographs are also included.
