Summary
Elaine Stritch: The End of Pretend chronicles the twilight of actress Elaine Stritch's career, offering a rare first-person and no-holds-barred glimpse into the private persona of a Broadway legend. Told primarily in Stritch's own words, The End of Pretend provides a portrait of this brutal and most honest truth teller. Her personality commands the page with full force. John Bell punctuates his narrative with her infamous humor, her infamous foul mouth, and her infamous foulmouthed humor. He manages to get Stritch to talk, with harrowing honesty, about her journey through increasing states of vulnerability: facing the end of her career, leaving New York, and navigating the gauntlet of physical ailments that led to the end of her life
