Zelda's Bloopers: The Good, the Bad, and the Whatever [Hardcover]

Carol Gardner (Author), Shane Young (Author)

Book Description

Series: Zelda | Publication Date: September 1, 2005

"To err is human . . . but it feels divine," said the inimitable Mae West, and how right she was. Zelda's Bloopers: The Good, the Bad, and the Whatever offers up Zelda in some of her irresistible moments where she manages to make lemonade out of the "lemons."

Zelda's Bloopers is the sixth book from this 60-pound wrinkled marvel of wisdom and wit. For the first time, her enamored fans can see Zelda as they've never seen her before-not quite picture-perfect. Even in her less glamorous moments, Zelda teaches us something about life: You can turn even your goof-ups into something great.

Originally filed away as rejects, these photos are juxtaposed with the original, ready-for-publication pictures, with smart, sassy sayings that complement both images.

Always a media favorite, Zelda has been featured in the New York Times and on Oprah, Good Morning America, and the Today show.
