Description
Rosemary Clooney - as a young girl she had done it all. She rose from the squalor
and poverty of a small Southern town to the heights of American show business. A smash recording artist whose records sold in the tens of millions, a famous film star, the host of her own network TV show, featured on the cover of Time magazine -almost overnight she became America's favorite sweetheart. She was married to the internationally celebrated actor Jose Ferrer. She was the close friend of Bing Crosby and Marlene Dietrich, John and Robert Kennedy.
Then in one terrible year it all came crashing down around her. From the heights of stardom she began her long, terrible descent into hell, a descent that would end in the isolation ward of a Los Angeles mental hospital.
But Rosemary fought her way back. And now, recovered and still stunningly attractive, Rosemary has actively resumed her career. At last, she tells her story. It is the testament of how a woman suffered in order to be saved, died in order to be reborn - a heartrending saga to rank with I'll Cry Tomorrow.
