In a work that is both glorious biography and captivating theatre history, Herbert G. Goldman illuminates both Fanny Brice's remarkable career on stage and radio--ranging from her first triumph as "Sadie Salome" to her long run as radio's "Baby Snooks"--and her less-than-triumphant personal life. Not only a look into the woman who inspired the Broadway Show and movie Funny Girl, Fanny Brice also vividly portrays the theatrical world in its heyday.
