The cover says by Barbara Eden *with* Wendy Leigh--and if you really read the book, it does sound like Wendy interviewed Barbara and asked her a lot of questions about her life and career, and then put all the quotes into a cohesive text.
Ronny G,
Wendy Leigh must be quite prolific in assisting celebrities with their autobiographies. I just finished reading the great Shirley Jones' autobiography, entitled "Shirley Jones: My Memoir," and Ms. Leigh also assisted Ms. Jones in the writing of her autobiography.
In the book, Ms. Jones writes of her childhood in a small town in Pennsylvania, her big break on Broadway, and her long and successful career in both film and television. Of course, Ms. Jones writes extensively about her "event-filled" marriage to the late, lamented Jack Cassidy.
Let me tell you, in looking at the photographs of Ms. Jones and Mr. Cassidy, I must say that Mr. Cassidy, with his trademark smile and neatly trimmed moustache, bore an uncanny resemblance to "Dark Shadows'" own Nicholas Blair!
The book is a great read for any DS fans who are also fans of Ms. Jones' work on stage, screen and as Danny Bonaduce's extremely patient and lovely mom on "The Partridge Family."
