Tallulah Morehead, former movie star, Huffington Post blogger sensation, and authoress of the comic memoir classic, My Lush Life, has this to say about her new memoir, Tallyho, Tallulah! “Readers of My Lush Life will recall a chapter titled ‘The Seventies’ was but a single blank page. That’s because my memory from 1969 to 1980 is as blank as that page. I'm told this is normal. Well, my ghostwriter, Little Dougie McEwan, found a manuscript in my attic, a memoir from the summer of 1974 detailing my adventures in the beachside town of Alta Caca, California. “There was nothing surprising about the sex, martinis, new forgotten husband, or starring in a summer musical based on a classic Bette Davis-Joan Crawford movie. It’s the other stuff that Little Dougie dug up that was truly surprising. Who knew other people could be interesting? But read it, or at least the parts about me, and draw your own conclusions. Cheers, darling.” [CLICK ON BOOK COVER IMAGE TO PURCHASE]

For My Gruesome Life:

"Cunning Mischief. Douglas McEwan is a riot"

- RC Matheson, novelist, TV writer.

"My Gruesome Life is funny, silly, disgusting, graceful and hysterical."

- Treva Silverman, double Emmy-winning writer for The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

For Tallyho Tallulah!:

“A hilarious, campy saga of a woman ‘under the influence’. Long live Tallulah Moorhead!..If the 1970s didn't kill her, nothing will.”

- David Isaacs, Emmy award-winning writer/producer, M*A*S*H, Cheers, Frasier, Mad Men.

“If Tallulah Morehead were 100 years younger I would marry her. And as opposed to her many other husbands, this one would stick. She is quite simply the funniest woman who ever never-died. Tallyho, Tallulah! is the latest edition of her wonderfully hilarious tales. You will laugh out loud and, like me, fall in love with this remarkable Hollywood star/drunk.”

- Ken Levine, Emmy-winning writer/producer/director M*A*S*H, Cheers, Frasier, Becker.

"Watch out Mame Dennis. Out of her way Belle Poitrine. Tallulah Morehead's in town. If you are tempted to think 'This story could not possibly get any more outlandish, any more ribald, any zanier' you have but to turn the page to disabuse yourself of that notion."

-David Lee, Emmy-winning writer/producer/director The Jeffersons, Cheers, Co-creator of Frasier and Wings.

Tallyho, Tallulah! By Douglas McEwan is, without question, the funniest book I have ever read - but more, it is social satire of the highest stripe; a vat of sulfuric acid thrown in the face of a mendacious, hypocritical, intellectually lazy, society. The main character, Tallulah Morehead, is a Teabagger's worst nightmare. She is a one-hundred-and-fifteen-year-old B movie star who knows where all the bodies are buried, and who lives completely without morality or restraint. I love her. She is who I wanted to be when I grew up and whenever she speaks, I suddenly hear the voice in my own head saying all the things that I would say out loud if I wasn't afraid of Crucifixion.

- Timothy Constant, actor, poet and playwright.

Tallyho, Tallulah!, McEwan's second turn with the character (I haven't read the first), had me laughing from the introduction. Once the story was underway it held me, grinning and chuckling throughout.The delightful debauchery of this tale of self-importance in the world of summer stock puts camp on the page so exquisitely that one can nearly smell the vodka in the printer's ink. If text can slur languidly, Douglas McEwan has figured out how to make it happen.

- Dylan Brody, comedian, writer, storyteller.

Blackmail, murder, forbidden love, one-way mirrors and an undiscovered Native American tribe are among the mysteries and intrigues pervading Alta Caca - until Tallulah arrives to act as catalyst for a summer no one would soon forget (except Tallulah). My Lush Life was so rich with exploits that its readers might think Morehead had said it all; what a delight that McEwan has mined a new story that stands completely on its own... the author keeps the action moving at a brisk pace while presenting us with a number of comic characters.If you relish intelligent, campy humor laced with a healthy dose of raunchiness, you'll thoroughly enjoy Douglas McEwan's Tallyho, Tallulah!"

- Robert Petretti, Tallulah fan.

For My Lush Life:

"Douglas McEwan has outdone himself. One of the most inspiring stories in the annals of frock-n-roll."

- Dame Edna Everage. [Barry Humphries]

"Miss Tallulah Morehead's story is a fantasy, a cautionary tale, and a riot. It's Little Me crossed with Sunset Boulevard."

- Michael Musto, The Village Voice.

"I just read her memoirs, My Lush Life, and found it to be the funniest book I've read since Confederacy of Dunces (seriously!)... A fabulous character and [McEwan's] writing of her is inspired. Truly hilarious...a comic masterpiece."

- Ken Levine, Emmy-winning writer for M*A*S*H, Cheers, The Simpsons, & Frasier.

"Laugh-out-loud funny... readers [will] appreciate McEwan’s often outrageous wit and dazzling puns... [McEwan] has updated this satirical genre, and Tallulah Moorehead stands beside Belle Poitrine as among the greatest stars who never lived, but should have."

- Tavo Amador, Bay Area Reporter.

"This audacious and over-the-top send-up is great fun for Hollywood junkies."

- Publisher's Weekly

"Vera Charles and Belle Poitrine, move over! ... From begining to end this book had me laughing."

- Ben Tyler, author of Tricks of the Trade.

"An intoxicating cocktail too good to be consumed slowly, with more great lines than a bathroom mirror at Studio 54."

- Chris Kenry, author of Uncle Max.

"My Lush Life is a vacation on paper....a cocktail napkin, to be specific."

- Charles Bloom, Composer/Lyricist.

"EVERYONE: check out this funny shit!"

- Steve Cruz XXX, hot, hairy gay porn star.

"After finishing My Lush Life, I now understand the fervor that sometimes induces people to burn books."

- Rex D. Maxfield, disgruntled Amazon reader reviewer.

"Miss Morehead is the ultimate Hollywood insider, since she's had most of Hollywood insider."

- Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Marsupial Internet pundit.

"Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Much better!" - Guy Thanatos, fictional horror movie Legend.
