TO ME IT'S ALL WONDERFUL
ETHEL WATERS

Ethel Waters grew up in the slums of Philadelphia and
neighboring cities, seldom living anywhere for more than a
few weeks at a time. "No one raised me, " she recollected, "I
just ran wild." She excelled not only at looking after herself,
but also at singing and dancing; she began performing at
church functions, and as a teenager was locally renowned
for her "hip shimmy shake".

She became one of America’s highest paid entertainers.  
She started appearing in Harlem nightclubs in the late 1920’
s and then went on the vaudeville circuit.  She went on to star
on the radio, on Broadway and in the movies.


This is a used paperback that shows light wear on the cover
and corners are bumped.  It is clean and tight.  There are
black and white photos included with Ms. Waters own story.
