SYNOPSIS: Just when you thought you were safe, Rosemary Sexton, bestselling author of The Glitter Girls, tells all in Confessions of a Society Columnist. The scented pen strikes again with published and unpublished letters to the editor, full reprints of her most controversial columns, columns that got killed and juicy selections from her own, personal diary. Rosemary Sexton's tenure as gossip columnist at The Globe and Mail from 1988 to 1993 covered a turbulent period at Canada's national newspaper, and none of the high and mighty is spared her sharp observation or sly wit: "It looked like a bulldozer had come in and razed the whole room. There was nothing left of the office but an enormous crater. 'So that's what happens when you disagree with Megarry,' I said." In this autobiographical account of her life in the spotlight, Rosemary Sexton reveals herself as never before, and talks about her reaction to the social hoopla surrounding publication of The Glitter Girls (some people still aren't speaking to her). Love her, or hate her, you can't ignore Rosemary Sexton. Rosemary's got the goods, and she proves it again with Confessions of a Society Columnist. Rosemary Sexton grew up in the small town of Haileybury, Ontario, the eldest daughter of a district court judge. She began her career as a secondary school teacher and went on to study law. After a brief stint as a tax lawyer, she served as a member of the Ontario Censor Board. In 1979, she married Edgar Sexton, chairman of Osler Hoskin & Harcourt, and became a full-time mother, stepmother and busy fundraiser, with seats on numerous charitable boards. In January of 1988, she began writing a social column and various features for The Globe and Mail, a freelance position she held until January of 1993. Today, she divides her time between the homes she and Edgar own in Rosedale, Brockville and Charleston Lake. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library. Seller Inventory # 003818
