Dame Edna Everage, housewife and megastar—not to mention investigative journalist, social anthropologist, swami, and chanteuse—recounts her life and times. From her humble beginnings in the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds to her marriage to Lord Norm Everage and her subsequent rise to megastardom, Everage recalls the highs and lows of a fabulous life. More than a show-biz autobiography, more than a housewife's diary, more than a chunk of history—My Gorgeous Life is a Hymn to Life.
