My Face for the World to See
by Liz Renay
Liz
Renay was born into small-town life in
Mesa, Arizona to a family of religious
zealots. Then WW II came and she became
a "V-girl," attracting servicemen
with her beautiful face and voluptuous
figure. Thus began her entry into the
world of New York high fashion models
and Fifty-Second Street strippers. Fate
led her into the underworld, where she
became a confidante and girlfriend to
important mobsters and shady dealers.
From
New York she went to Hollywood, where
she won a Marilyn Monroe look-alike contest
and became a national celebrity; meanwhile
her paintings were selling for $5,000
each and her poetry was recorded and broadcast.
Then came an indictment and three-year
probation for her unwillingness to cooperate
with authorities by testifying against
the mobster Mickey Cohen. A violation
of her probation landed her in prison
for three years. Married eight times,
appeared before thirteen grand juries,
with more lovers than any swinger of her
generation-Liz Renay tells the story of
her compelling and memorable adventures
with honesty and candor.
AUTHORBIO: Liz Renay has lived her whole
life as a celebrity and movie actress
and has become a cult icon in her own
lifetime. She is at work on a sequel to
My Face for the World to See. She lives
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
