Beauty is a Bitch!
Ever since the Miss America pageant began, the beautiful contestants embodied the dreams of every young girl in the nation. Except one. Her name is Barra Grant, whose mother Bess Myerson was the only Jewish Miss America and one of the most famous (and infamous) Miss Americas of all time.
Myerson had it all... until she fell in love with the wrong man and lost her reputation and a little of her mind.
Pageant viewers and the fans Myerson gathered over her show business and public service years clearly did not know the real woman beneath the crown. Her daughter, a self-proclaimed "chubby kid with frizzy hair, buck teeth and no obvious talent" had a unique insider's view. Her new play will let audiences in on the challenges, confusion, and explosions of the awkward childhood of a young girl who craved her mother's love while she clearly was not equipped to wear a tiara.
