This is a simple documentary with a lot of found photographs and clips of footage from a bio pic movie, but it’s a labor of love, and I really enjoyed it very much.

I love the narrator. It certainly is NOT an automated computer voice.

The Narrator is so witty and certainly unsentimental and pragmatic.<br>I didn't realize Dorothy Parker was so self destructive and essentially unhappy.<br>What apity she never got help for her pain.

Samuel Pepys was not an Elizabethan. Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603. Pepys was born 30 years later. I hope the stuff said about Dorothy Parker was more accurate than that. 🙄

This is definitely from the book “Bobbed Hair and Bathtub Gin” by Marion Meade; Audiobook is narrated by Lorna Raver. <br>The book also covers Zelda Fitzgerald, Edna St. Vincent and Edna Ferber.

Legend has it that someone rushed into the Algonquin, headed for the Roundtable, and announced "Calvin Coolidge has just died", to which Dorothy responded, "How could they tell?". Priceless!

I spent a night at the Algonquin many years ago. It was in its decline, but the famous dining room was still there and one still dressed in suit and tie for breakfast.

America had Dorothy Parker and Britain had Stevie Smith. Both were brilliant with short, hard-edged, and philosophical verse on the human condition.

Dorothy Parker wrote some of the best Short Stories I've ever read. She was lucid and witty as few. Very funny, too. Wish she have had a better life. She deserved it. 😔🙏🆒💖

What a Life, and Death... a True Comedy & Tragedy... I laughed many times and enjoyed this amazing woman's life story. And I cried at the end... and smiled.
