Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition. [modest shelfwear to book; jacket is scuffed and a bit edgeworn, with a tiny closed tear at the bottom of the front panel and an equally tiny chip at the lower front hinge]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author facing the title page. "A true story of…a colorful theatrical career and a case of psychological possession." The latter refers to the author's over-identification with the role of " Aunt Emily," which she played for eight consecutive years on the TV soap opera "The Brighter Day." "She [Emily] possessed me completely in both worlds--the real and the make-believe," says the author. According to the jacket copy, "it was only when the serial came to its inevitable end that the actress began to realize the extent of this possession. Her inability to return to her real-life role forced her, after many confused and unhappy months, to become her own psychiatrist, to delve into her past, particularly her deliberately forgotten childhood, and to search her innermost soul for clues to her dilemma." All of which makes this veteran character actress something of a pioneer in the field of repressed-memory retrieval, I suppose. (She was also the mother of Frankie Thomas, who played "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet"!) Jacket blurb by Fred Astaire. Foreword by Allen Potter. Signed by Author.
