内容説明

When Nancy Spain died in a plane crash in 1964, aged 47, with her partner, Joan Werner Laurie, she was at the height of a brilliant media career. A famous all-media celebrity of the time, she was a seasoned journalist and writer - with over 10 camp and frothy crime novels to her name. She later moved into radio and TV, quickly becoming an established panelist on "Juke Box Jury" and "What's My Line?" as well as a knowledgeable and lively contributor to "Woman's Hour". In this revealing biography, Rose Collis rediscovers Nancy Spain's public and private life and therein creates an account of an exceptional woman.
