The real story behind Dame Edna, the international superstar! Written by the legendary Barry Humphries himself. 'I'm suing!!' Dame Edna Everage 'Humphries is Australia's John Betjeman' Mail on Sunday 'Full of the hilarious innuendo that we love' Woman's Weekly In this unauthorised biography of Dame Edna Everage, acquired for an unprecedented advance and in spectacular secrecy, her long-time manager and the man who was there from the very beginning, Barry Humphries, takes a behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred look at an icon of our times. Superstar, swami, confidante and advisor to royalty, Hollywood stars and international political leaders, Dame Edna's life has catapulted her from her humble Moonee Ponds beginnings as a suburban housewife to the most elite social and artistic circles in the world.
