Best known for her Emmy Award-winning role as the man-crazed Southern belle Blanche Devereaux on the hit television comedy series Golden Girls, actress Rue McClanahan is a cultural icon, one who has won the affection of generations of fans for her sparkling sense of humor, inimitable personal style, and bottomless appetite for living and loving.
McClanahan’s colorful personality, saucy wit, and trademark joie de vivre are on full display in her new book and one-night-only Provincetown show, MY FIRST FIVE HUSBANDS . . . AND THE ONES WHO GOT AWAY, a funny and fiercely revealing romp in which she provides a deliciously entertaining chronicle of her eventful and passionately-lived life. Candidly discussing the challenges she’s faced on the road to happiness and creative fulfillment, she shares the loves and losses, hits, flops, laughter, and tears that shaped her development—as well as the hard-won wisdom she has acquired over the course of five stormy marriages and a distinguished acting career that spans more than four decades.
“This book is about men I have known, in both the platonic and biblical senses,” quips McClanahan. “Some I knew only slightly, some quite well. Some I’ll love always, some I no longer like very much, and there are a few I’d like to strip naked, tie to a Maypole, smear with sweet syrup near a beehive, then stand back and watch. I’ll describe a goodly number of these hot dudes—and duds—keeping the nicest man for last, because—if for nothing else—I’d like to leave you with a good taste in your mouth, and Hubbies #3 and #4 might want to make you rush to gargle. There were times I truly wondered, Lord, will I EVER get it right? Thank God I thrive on variety.”
Now happily married to her soul mate, Husband #6, and having overcome a recent battle with breast cancer, Rue is proof that many things can and do get better with age—and that, if she keeps her wits about her, even a small-town girl can make it big. Infused with wicked humor and vivacious Southern charm, MY FIRST FIVE HUSBANDS . . . AND THE ONES WHO GOT AWAY is a story of surprising depth and intelligence, one that will delight Rue McClanahan’s many fans and have audiences and readers everywhere cheering out loud for an unforgettable, irrepressible star.
