Girl Singer an Autobiography
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Ballantine Books
- Publish date: 11/01/1999
At the age of twenty-five she married the erudite and respected actor Jose Ferrer, sixteen years her senior and light-years more sophisticated. Trouble started almost immediately when, on her honeymoon, she discovered he had already been unfaithful. Finally, after having five children while she virtually single-handedly supported the entire family, and in light of Jose's numerous, unrepentant infidelities, she filed for divorce. From there her life spiralled downward, into depression, addiction to various prescription drugs, and then, in 1968, a breakdown and hospitalization. After years spent fighting her way back to the top, Clooney is married to one of her first and long-lost loves -- a true fairy tale with a happy ending; she's been nominated for four Grammys in six years and has had two albums at the top of the Billboard charts. In the words of one of StephenSondheim's Follies showgirls, she could well be singing triumphantly, "I'm still here!"
