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. She then entered the world of New York high-fashion models and Fifty-Second Street strippers. Fate took her to the underworld where she became a confidante and girlfriend to important mobsters and shady dealers. From New York, she went to Hollywood. There, she won a Marilyn Monroe look-alike contest and became a national celebrity. Meanwhile, her paintings were selling for $5,000, 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 mobster Mickey Cohen. A violation of her probation landed her in prison for three years. Married eight times, having appeared before thirteen grand juries, with arguably more lovers than any swinger of her generation—Liz Renay tells the story of her compelling and memorable adventures with honesty and candor.
