So wrote Colleen Dewhurst, as she began - finally - to recall the stories that would fill these pages. Three years later, Dewhurst, acclaimed as one of the greatest tragic actresses of our time, died on August 22, 1991, leaving unfinished the autobiography she had been writing for nearly two decades. The partial manuscript, notes and untranscribed tapes sketched the complete woman: the daughter who wrestled with the domineering strength of her mother's will, yet whose fierce integrity would motivate her actions for a lifetime; the student of Tyrone Guthrie, Harold Clurman and Joseph Papp; the creator, with actors Jason Robards and Ben Gazzara, of definitive renditions of Eugene O'Neill and Edward Albee plays; the star who would win two Obies, two Tonys and four Emmys; the activist who as president of Actors' Equity Association and a trustee of The Actors' Fund of America spoke up first and often, becoming a fierce advocate for those who were not as well known as she; the wife of George C.

Before her death in August 1991, Colleen Dewhurst spent two decades working on the notes and tapes that would make up the pages of this autobiography, giving readers a complete sketch of the woman known as one of the greatest actresses of her time. "Over ten years ago, I had an idea that brings me to this very moment," are the words of Colleen Dewhurst that led her to recall and record the numerous stories of her life that led to this book. Including stories of her experiences mothering a daughter who wrestled the domineering strength of her mother's will, being a student of Tyrone Gutherie, Harold Clurman, and Joseph Papp, winning multiple Obies, Tonys, and Emmys, and her lifetime as a friend whose laughter and easy willingness to share joy, pain, and random ridiculousness of life invited many into her heart. Interviews with friends of Colleen's, such as Ellen Burstyn, Jose Quintero, and Roscoe Lee Browne enhance the pages of this autobiography, telling the story of a life filled with indelible impressions and stunning influence. When brilliant actress Colleen Dewhurst died of cancer in 1991, she left behind the almost completed draft of this warm and funny autobiography.
