As new condition dark gray boards, black spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Book(s) by Sylvia Jukes Morris; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by David Boothe to his sister Clare, 1945; Prologue; Appendix; Acknowledgments; List of Illustrations; Bibliography; Notes and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and a pastel portrait frontispiece. " "Her technique was simple: Aim for the top," an envious colleague wrote of Clare Boothe Luce. No American woman of this century aimed so accurately, or rocketed so far, as this legendary playwright, editor, politician, wit, and social seductress. Born illegitimate on New York's Upper West Side, with nothing to recommend her but blonde good looks and a freocious intelligence, she used sex, street smarts, acid humor, and money to plot a career more improbalbe than anything in her own fction and drama. At ten, Clare Boothe understudied Mary Pickford on Braodway. At twenty, she was both a suffragette and a siren to well-placed men on both sides of the Atlantic. She spurned the handsomest to marry the richest: George Tuttle Brokaw, an alcoholic Fifth Avenue millionaire more than twice her age. At twenty-six, she was free of him, financially secure, in the full flower of her beauty, and ambitious enough to scorch silk. But the young arriviste was not content with mere wealth and the snobbism of New York cafe society. She confessed to a "rage for fame." This extraordinary book tells how she achieved it. Sylvia Jukes Morris, Clare Boothe Luce's chosen biographer, has spent fifteen years doing research in dozens of scholarly archives, as well as probing restricted areas of the half-million-item Clare Boothe Luce Papers in the Library of Congress. Clare Boothe set about transforming herself into a caption writer at Vogue, staff writer and managing editor of Vanity Fair (glossiest of the Deco-era magazines) and author of Stuffed Shirts, a satiric short-story collection brilliant enough to arouse the envy of Andre Maurois. Then, in three days at age thirty-three, she wrote The Women, the hit play whose dry-martinin dialogue ("I'm a virgin - a frozen asset") still elicits gasps from audiences around the world. By then Clare Boothe was married again, this time to a man who was her equal in force of character: Henry Luce, the youthful publisher of Time and Fortune. On their honeymoon, she helped plant the seed of his greatest success, Life. For Luce, meeting Clare was a "coup de foudre," a lightning stroke that transformed him overnight into the most ardent and generous of lovers. To Clare, whom a French artist once described as "a beautiful facade without central heating," Henry was only the latest, and by no means the last, of the men she cruelly disillusioned. Although the marriage endured, this clear-eyed biography chronicles its deterioration from passion to partnership. Other admirers, including Max Reinhardt, Conde Nast, Joseph P. Kennedy, Ranhdolph CHurchill, Noel Coward, Bernard Baruch, Paul Gallico, Isamu Noguchi, and Jawaharlal Nehru, crowd the pages of Rage for Fame -- even Gertrude Stein, in one hilarious episode. All testify to Clare Boothe Luce's extraordinary charm and guile. However, she had powerful detractors, notably Franklin D. Roosevelt, David O. Selznick, Frida Kahlo, and Dorothy Parker. Copious quotations from her own diaries, as well as from those of her daughter, Anne, and the letters of her doomed literary mentor Donald Freeman, reveeal dark undercurrents of deceit, ruthlessness, and narcissims in her personality. Behind the blue eyes and flirtatious manner, she was, in Irwin Shaw's words, "feminine as a meat axe" After Pearl Harbor, her rage for fame became a rage for power that only politics would satisfy." -- excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
