Hello, I'm Rachel.
Lady biographer. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.
Currently: I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.
If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

![Jayne Mansfield with her dogs in L.A. She spoke five languages and played the violin and piano. She had a degree in physics. But when interviewed once about her IQ (supposedly > 163) , she said, “They’re more interested in 40-21-35.” She also said: “I don’t know why you people [the press] like to compare me to Marilyn or that girl, what’s her name, Kim Novak. Cleavage, of course, helped me a lot to get where I am. I don’t know how they got there.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/lDJ4lgWNtbovo658WFb8cdic_500.jpg)
