I Can't Wait To Be Forgotten pays tribute to
Kay's compassionate nature, her concern for others, her great
contributions on behalf of those serving in the armed forces
during World War II, and the financial legacy she contributed to
The Seeing Eye. Kay felt that being of some service to
others was far more important than focusing totally on promoting
herself and a film career. Readers will be surprised to learn
about the "real" Kay Francis in retirement. Her godsons
paint a portrait of a woman who lived in the moment, and
generated a great deal of loving warmth.
Many rare, unpublished photos from Kay's youth and
retirement years are featured in her biography. Interviews
from co-workers, friends and children of her "ex's" complete the
picture of one of Hollywood's most glamorous and intriguing
stars.
