Description

A witty and charming account of the wildly entertaining Elsie de Wolfe in 1950s Hollywood, recounted by her dear friend, the beloved creator of MadelineLudwig Bemelmans charming intergenerational friendship with the lateinlife First Lady of Interior Decoration provides an enormously enjoyable nostalgia trip to the sunsoaked glamour of Los Angeles, where de Wolfe surrounded herself with classic movie stars and a luminous parade of lifes oddities.With hilarity and mischief that de Wolfe would no doubt approve, To the One I Love the Best lifts the curtain on 1950s Hollywooda bygone world of extravagance and eccentricity, where the parties are held in circus tents and populated by ravishing movie stars. Bemelmans, who was working at MGM, had originally come to the California home of de Wolfe just for cocktails but by the end of the night, he was firmly established as a member of the family given a bedroom in their sumptuous house, invitations to the most outrageous parties in Hollywood, and the friendship of the largerthanlife woman known to her closest friends simply as Mother. To the One I Love the Best (which refers to de Wolfes dog) is a touching tribute to a fabulously funny woman and an American icon.Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you. Elsie de Wolfe
