Kay Thompson: from Funny face to Eloise - Sam Irvin


Kay Thompson: from Funny face to Eloise - Irvin, Sam

Summary: Presents a tribute to the Hollywood entertainer-turned-author that covers such topics as her close friendship with Judy Garland, contributions as a celebrity trainer, and creation of the mischievous six-year-old Plaza mascot, Eloise. - (Baker & Taylor)



Staff Review:
Kay Thompson is an American legend who is almost forgotten these days except for her delightful Eloise books. This terrific biography reminds us of this very talented woman who had a multi-faceted career before becoming a beloved children's book author. Judy Garland's vocal coach and mentor, Frank Sinatra's vocal guru, Liza Minelli's godmother, star of radio, Broadway, and movies among many many other credits, this eccentric and wacky lady was really something!
