About This Item
Inkwell Productions , 2012. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Fine . Signed by Author. With brief gift inscription to previous owner by, and signed by Ladd. Itâs no news that Diane Ladd is one of the greatest actresses in the history of American cinema, phenomenally adept at comedy and tragedy. What is news is that she now demonstrates an equal mastery of the short story form. In A Bad Afternoon for a Piece of Cake Ladd shows us a pitch-perfect ear for regional as well as urban dialogue, an innate wit, and a sure hand at plotting and narrative. Perhaps this is less of a surprise than it first appears she is, after all, a cousin of Tennessee Williams. Diane Ladd (born 1935) has appeared in over 120 film and television roles. For the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, she won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She went on to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television for Alice (1980â81), and to receive Academy Award nominations for Wild at Heart (1990) and Rambling Rose (1991).
