Sing a pretty song--

This the autobiography of Edie Adams, the widow of Ernie Kovacs. Edie was well known in her own right as a Tony winner in Lil Abner and her origination of the role of Eileen in the musical Wonderful Town. Book covers Edie's life from her childhood until 1964, two years after Ernie's death in an auto accident. Modern audiences may know Edie best from her decades as the star of commercials for Muriel Cigars--yes they used to have ads on TV for tobacco products. The ads were both sexy and funny, with the tag line "where there's Muriel smoke there's fire." Edie had a good sense of humor which evidenced in the book.
