I have to admit I am rather sad to see November come to an end. Sure, my three-year-old is beside herself that it’s finally December with Christmas around the corner, which is almost as exciting for me. However, November 2013 was one of my most memorable and I think can appropriately be called the “Month of Ann Dvorak.”<\/p>\n
I had dreamed of having an Ann Dvorak biography published for years, and its release on November 4th exceeded all my expectations. I was treated to positive reviews by five film bloggers and one online magazine<\/a>, a fabulous mention by old school columnist Liz Smith<\/a> who likened Ann to Gloria Swanson, a radio interview <\/a>with yours truly about writing the book on the subway, along with a discussion at the Silver Screen Oasis<\/a>. The official launch party<\/a> was an overwhelming success with more people in attendance than the fire marshall would have liked, and the first Ann Dvorak book talk <\/a>was well received.<\/p>\n As if all of the above weren’t enough, I was also fortunate enough to have\u00c2\u00a0Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel<\/em><\/a> selected for the Turner Classic Movies Book Corner.<\/a> Throughout the month I heard from countless people who saw the promo<\/a> run on the station and the spoiled brat in me is sad that as of today, it will no longer be running.<\/p>\n Finally, I have heard some wonderful feedback from the Dvorak faithful on this site, for which I cannot adequately express my appreciation. But don’t worry, there’s more Ann Dvorak coming down the pipeline as we head into December and round out the Year of Ann Dvorak.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 335 I have to admit I am rather sad to see November come to an end.
