I’d Do It Again!
-A Memoir –
Harriet Wright with Brie Austin
In I’d Do It Again, author Harriet Wright’s priceless adventures began in her mid-twenties when Jimmy Durante plucked her from the waters of the Aquacade [at the 1939–40 World’s Fair] to join the first chorus line of the famed Copacabana Supper Club.
Harriet soon became part of the nightclub crowd and was regularly mentioned in the most famous New York gossip columns. She traveled with the rich and famous, raised a son who gained his notoriety, and had more adventures than Forrest Gump. I’d Do It Again! recounts her journeys to a life in Cairo, a romance in Tunisia, a weekend in jail, a six-week Caribbean escapade with Jose Ferre, and much more!
Her son Clovis, a rebellious teenager, became the youngest designer to win the prestigious Coty Critics Award, the fashion industry equivalent of an Oscar. His success gave Harriet a backstage pass to the fashion world and the trendy “in” spots, like Studio 54.
But Harriet also had her share of heartaches and a lifelong assault of challenges. It was years after her hudand died in a mysterious plane crash in the Ethipoian mountins, that she learned he wasn’t just a pilot, he was in military intellegance, and the offical government story was a cover-up.
I’d Do It Again! is the riveting and entertaining life story of a resilient woman who refuses to let life pass her by. Instead, she lived it to its fullest extent!
