About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1977. First Edition. Signed presentation copy from S.J. Perelman to Anita Colby and Palen Flagler on the front flyleaf. Inscribed: For Anita and Palen, this cautionary manual to teach them what horrors to avoid offshore. Cordially, Sid. - S.J. Perelman, 9 November, 1977. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Anita Colby (August 5, 1914 – March 27, 1992) was an American actress and model. She moved to Hollywood from New York in 1935 and changed her name to Colby. She had a bit part in Mary of Scotland (1936) and other B movies, but her acting career never took off. After two years, she returned to New York and became an ad salesperson for Harper's Bazaar. She made her name in Hollywood almost 10 years after leaving films when she worked on a nationwide advertising campaign for the film Cover Girl (1944), in which she also appeared. She began acting in films again in the 1940s, including Brute Force (1947). Colby was hired by David O. Selznick in the 1940s to teach contract actresses, such as Jennifer Jones, about beauty, poise, and publicity. Her job title at his production company, Selznick International Pictures, was "Feminine Director". She worked closely with Selznick's top actresses, such as Jennifer Jones, Ingrid Bergman, Shirley Temple, Dorothy McGuire, and Joan Fontaine. Colby’s husband, Palen Flagler was a famous New York advertising executive.
