Book Presentation:
Most often remembered for her gestures, expressive eyes, and body language on the screen, ZaSu Pitts was an unusual actress (and also an excellent cook: she often gave homemade candies to her coworkers, and her collection of candy recipes was published posthumously).

This affectionate study of both her private life off-screen and her public persona details how the multi-talented actress become one of filmdom’s favorite comediennes and character players. The book includes many rare photographs.

About the Author:
The late Charles Stumpf (1929–2009) was a bookkeeper, actor and historian. He lived in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.

Press Reviews:
