Leslie Bennetts, the author of Last Girl Before the Freeway: The Life, Loves, Losses and Liberation of Joan Rivers, will be on hand to read from her book and sign copies of it during a meet-and-greet and dessert reception. Publishers Weekly praised Bennetts reporting, saying that it gives readers unparalleled access to her subject, which comedy fans and those just fascinated by superstardom, will greatly enjoy.
Bennetts is the author of the national bestseller The Feminine Mistake, a longtime Vanity Fair writer and former New York Times reporter. At Vanity Fair she wrote movie star cover stories, articles on subjects ranging from priest pedophilia to political profiles, and was the first woman to cover a presidential campaign at the New York Times. She has written for New York Magazine, Vogue, More, the Nation, Glamour, and other publications.
“Even people who aren't comedy fans know that Joan Rivers was a trailblazer with a long and storied show business career says Lauren Wagner, Director of Marketing & Development, Gold Coast Arts Center. “But few people know the details about her exceptionally dramatic life, which is what we'll learn about on October 29, 2017.
