Still Here: The Madcap, Nervy, Singular Life of Elaine Stritch

Still Here is the first full telling of Elaine Stritch’s life. Rollicking but intimate, it tracks one of Broadway’s great personalities from her upbringing in Detroit during the Great Depression to her fateful move to New York City, where she studied alongside Marlon Brando, Bea Arthur, and Harry Belafonte. The book explores her influential collaborations, her attempts to control a drinking problem, and her renaissance punctuated by a turn on 30 Rock. Following years of meticulous research and interviews, Still Here presents a detailed portrait of a powerful, vulnerable, honest, and humorous figure who continues to reverberate in the public consciousness.
