Guess what I just ILLed?

Because, the main library on campus doesn't have it --

Barabara Seaman's "Lovely Me: The Life of Jacqueline Susann".

From the Amazon description:

Pioneering feminist health scholar and Ms. contributor Barbara Seaman dishes all the delicious dirt on Jackie Susann, who left more dirt in her wake than most tornadoes: countless affairs with the famous and infamous (including Ethel Merman!), a scary passion for her father (whom Jackie, age 4, caught in flagrante delicto with a woman not his wife), and a cancer-ravaged life, exacerbated by enough drug binges and showgirl catfights to fill the most notorious roman á clef in world history, "Valley of the Dolls".

And, she had an autistic son as well.

The real Valley of the Dolls, April 3, 2003

LOVELY ME takes honors for being the most lurid bio I've ever read. It was great!
