Handling Edna: Barry Humphries

A behind the scenes, candid and authoritative account of the life and career of Edna Everage - superstar, confidante and adviser to royalty, Hollywood (and Bollywood) stars, political leaders, heads of State and various Popes. From the days when she was a humble Moonee Ponds housewife to the jet-set life she leads, her roller-coaster career is told by the man who has been there from the beginning - Barry Humphries. He knows everything - the who, the why, the where - and he reveals it all. Edna will not like this book; but it is essential readers for scholars, female achievers, fans of Dame Edna and those who feel that behind the fairytale lies a darker, more disturbing story...
