DESCRIPTION:
She produced both news and musical programs for the airwaves. She describes her many visits to the White House, her 40-year career in journalism, as a feature writer for the now-defunct 'Wilmington Sunday Star' and as a radio journalist. This autobiography describes the author's flight from Vienna only one step ahead of the Nazis (in 1938) with only $20 in her pocket; her attempts in New York to revive the singing career she had left behind in Vienna; her ongoing friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt (who later became Shedd's daughter's godmother). She expanded her activities to include travel journalism, visiting almost every European country; she had the opportunity to interview many famous people in the worlds of science, politics, art and music which she presented on her radio program 'Spotlight on Success.'
"You can't put it down once you start reading" according to A Customer. You will get a wonderful history of what life has been before the Nazis came to Austria and after leaving Austria for the United States.. "fantastic - a page turner" according to A Customer. I read it cover-to-cover. Great bathroom reading.
