Acerca de esta escucha
Liz Renay was born into small-town life in Mesa, Arizona to a family of religious zealots. Then WWII came and she became a "V-girl," attracting servicemen with her beautiful face and voluptuous figure. Thus began her entry into the world of New York high fashion models and Fifty-Second Street strippers. Fate led her into the underworld, where she became a confidante and girlfriend to important mobsters and shady dealers.
From New York she went to Hollywood, where she won a Marilyn Monroe lookalike contest and became a national celebrity; meanwhile her paintings were selling for $5,000 each and her poetry was recorded and broadcast. Then came an indictment and three-year probation for her unwillingness to cooperate with authorities by testifying against the mobster Mickey Cohen. A violation of her probation landed her in prison for three years. Married eight times, appeared before thirteen grand juries, with more lovers than any swinger of her generation - Liz Renay tells the story of her compelling and memorable adventures with honesty and candor.

Award-winning voice actress Coleen Marlo narrates counterculture sweetheart Liz Renay's memoir with elegance, sweetness, and panache. My Face for the World to See tells the extraordinary story of a woman born to religious zealots in Arizona who went on to become a stripper and performer, date scores of famous men and marry seven of them, write three books, and play the lead role in John Waters' Desperate Living. Listeners are in for a wild ride as Marlo dramatizes Renay's story.
The narrator doesn't start out great, but she improves, and her inflection reflects the emotion of the scene- which I like. The one drawback to this story is that this is an obviously self-written biography (no ghost writer), and while it is dramatically correct, and perfectly coherent, there are very few flowery connecting phrases to spin out the story or make it flow. It's packed with drama, but in many cases I would have loved more details, and an actual author might have given us that. It ends in her thirties, surely this charming woman has more to say!
Regardless of my minor criticism, an extremely interesting life, wish it was longer, and I'm about to go get her juicy follow up sex tell-all *right now*.
