Description:

In the most unorthodox show biz autobiography you'll read all year, the late Sandy Dennis (A Thousand Clowns, Any Wednesday, many others) reveals a real flair for poetic evocation of the bright and dark moments of her short, cat-filled life. Brought to unhappy endings with nearly all the humans in her life (including jazzman Gerry Mulligan), she takes solace in enough strong-personality kitties to make Andrew Lloyd Webber ponder a sequel. She refers to her film career not at all, and when she speaks of her stage career she never bothers to reveal a title, but remembers fond personal details, such as how warm and belonging she felt on one of her homey sets. Written mostly during her long, losing battle with ovarian cancer, the 77 pages of prose poems read like vivid, impressionistic dreams.
