The Late Show

Part advice manual and part memoir, “The Late Show” is truly an insightful guide to growing old, presented in candid, unyielding, and often humorous form by Helen Gurley Brown. Focused on such topics as emotional security, marriage, money, sex, beauty, exercise, health, and work, Brown explains her philosophy and shares personal experiences. She also draws on contributions from several of her friends, including Diane von Furstenberg, Raquel Welch, and Ali McGraw. Brown's honest and provocative views reflect those of the era in which she thrived as a pioneer of the sexual revolution.
