Throughout a prolific forty year Hollywood career, she never stopped turning heads. Directors and leading men took notice of her as a highly skilled and versatile actress; gossip columnists and celebrity watchers feasted on her often wild, sometimes beatnik and always non-conformist personality. And then there were the boys.
Pretty Poison is the unauthorized biography of Tuesday Weld, a most unconventional actress. Detailing her professional life on screen and the many loves of her personal life, Pretty Poison covers all facets of an actress who throughout her career has been compared to Elizabeth Taylor and Jayne Mansfield, and was once touted as the next Marilyn Monroe.
Although she had modeled and worked as an actress in a few rock and roll teen exploitation films, it was in the role of Thalia Menninger on the short lived but popular television show The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis that the public was formally introduced to Tuesday Weld. She was 16 years old. Almost overnight, she became a teen sensation, the heartthrob of millions of teenage boys across America.
