If any of you are Eve Golden fans, friends, or just miss her, she’s alive and very well, and consented to sit down to an interview with me. She was gracious enough to share some of her history which is not publicized, and told me quite a bit about her early life and work.
I will copy the introduction so I don’t sound repetitive:
*Miss Eve Golden is the author of six theater and film biographies, and her articles on film history have also been collected into two anthologies. After starting her literary career at a New York advertising agency, she worked her way to becoming copy chief at More magazine for seven years, and wrote the humor column “The Bottom Shelf” in Movieline in the 1990s. She has appeared in plays off-Broadway, in summer stock and commercials, and now enjoys a quiet life as a photo archivist, obituary writer, freelance editor, and self-described “stately dowager.”
What is rarely known is that the multi-talented Miss Golden is a woman with a transsexual history, who consented very kindly to an interview with me to talk for the first time in detail about her transition, as well as her life and work, including some questions I had about her literary efforts (which I encourage you to check out!)*
You can read the entire interview at the link below.
I had a wonderful time doing the interview with her (and thanks for the heads up folks for PM’d me; I fixed that one picture that was oddly formatted on some mobile devices).

her awful father even went from calling me “that damn little Jew-boy” to “that damn little Jew-girl,” which I thought was kind of sweet.

She’s still got it!
I miss her and wish she would get the restraining order lifted.
I miss Eve posting here too. My best friend and I are great fans of her books; I shall be passing a link to this interview along for others to enjoy, thanks so much for posting it - what a delight!
Le Sigh! Thanks a million, Una. What a great interview. I can feel Eve’s charismatic presence emanating from the page (screen?), and both of you are so funny, insightful, and well-spoken. I know I’ll never hold a candle to either of you, so I’ll content myself with simply admiring you.
