From the press release for "What's Good For Gara"

What’s good for Gara? Depends on who you ask!

“The Harrumph Girl!” -Hedda Hopper
“[About as useful as] a big plate of moldy jelly donuts.” -Elizabeth Taylor
“A guttersnipe!” -Madonna
“All I’ve had from her is twenty years of cigarette butts and chicken bones dumped on my side of the fence.” -Barbra Streisand
“Among the loveliest [of stars].” -Dorothy Kilgallen
“I wanted a beautiful blank slate for the part, but I didn’t think I’d end up with someone who erased the chalkboard herself!” -Alfred Hitchcock
“That old cow with the $1.99 legs.” -Betty Grable
“I thought Gawbo was a peasant, but that was befowah I met Gawa!” -Marlene Dietrich
“I had to worry about where to seat her during [White House] state dinners after she told the Ethiopian ambassador, ’What’s this great diet your people have? Every time I see Ethiopians on TV, they look as skinny as Sinatra back in ’44!’” -Nancy Reagan
“She’s got a mean right hook!” -Jason Bateman

“She’s such a has-been, no one even does her for Halloween anymore.” -Ted Casablanca

You’ll be talking about Gara St. James, too, when you dive into the new comic mystery novel WHAT’S GOOD FOR GARA!

Gara’s been a star for decades, from her days as Baby Gara, a minor threat to Shirley Temple, to her rebirth as an adult actress in ’50s Hollywood. Even though things are looking a bit precarious for Gara in the new millennium, she’s always believed in her own indestructibility. She’ll need to remember that when she journeys to London following the death of her third ex-husband, the wealthy Lord Lindale “Laddie” Bottomly.

But the lord’s angry family is foaming at the mouth and snarky starlet “frenemies” Barbara and Gloria are eager to witness Gara’s downfall. But is someone also trying to off Gara with bizarre murder attempts in order to keep that inheritance in England and keep shocking family secrets from discovery?

What’s good for Gara? Celebrating with a big financial windfall or six feet under? Depends on who you ask!
