- Summary
- "During the 1950s and '60s, no actress dazzled Broadway like Kim Stanley. She was acclaimed the greatest stage actress of a generation that included Julie Harris, Geraldine Page, and Anne Bancroft. Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe copied her stage performances on film. Men longed for her. Scandal shadowed her. And theatergoers couldn't get enough of this Method-inspired performer from the Actors Studio." "Like other self-destructive icons, Kim Stanley's talent was matched only by her ability to undo herself. After fifteen years of stardom, this extraordinary actress walked away from the theater never to return, embarking upon a long Garbo-like odyssey of mystery and reclusiveness. What happened? Female Brando answers that question with a meticulously researched, empathetic biography that tells all - not only about her colorful and cautionary personal life, but about her unrivaled theatrical brilliance and what became of this stage legend when the house lights went dark."--BOOK JACKET.
