Anna Fields - Author bio
Anna is a New York-based television writer, author, comedienne, and confirmed "Rebel Deb." But just like many little girls with big dreams, she started out a chubby, bookish, cotillion class drop-out growing up in the tiny Southern town of Burlington, North Carolina.
After leaving the South, graduating from Brown University, and surviving years of celebrity madness (including hair-raising stints as Diana Ross' personal assistant and tutor-slash-slave to socialite-slash-"Real" Housewife of New York, Jill Zarin), Anna completed the memoir "Confessions of a Rebel Debutante," forthcoming from Penguin Group, Ltd., in April, 2010.
Anna is a celebrated TV writer, penning scripts for CBS' "As the World Turns", "Guiding Light" and ABC's "One Life to Live." Her works have been produced and performed in theatres nationwide from New York to San Francisco. She enjoys long walks on the beach, quiet, romantic dinners and walking her dog, Jax, throughout the former crack houses-turned coffee shops of the East Village.
Today, more Rebel than Deb, Anna is busy working on new additions to her blooming series, including the forthcoming Rebel Debutante's Book of Love and Tickled Pink. For more of Anna's rants, raves, and revelations about life and love, check out www.RebelDebutante.com.
The Rebel Deb - Just the Facts
Confessions of a Rebel Debutante: Sharp, sweet and sassy, Confessions of a Rebel Debutante proves you can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl!
A memoir by Anna Fields, a would-be Southern Belle, who, rejecting her old-fashioned upbringing and elitist peers, was dubbed a "Rebel Deb." Relive Anna's years of cotillion and boarding school madness as she takes readers through a whirlwind of dress fittings, escort selections and deliciously old-moneyed debacles culminating in a lifetime worth of ladylike behavior: the 74th annual Southeastern Debutante Ball.
A Debutante: (or "Deb" - French word for female beginner) is a young lady from an aristocratic or upper class family who has reached the age of maturity and, as a new adult, is introduced to society at a formal presentation known as her "debut," "coming out," or "Debutante Ball."
About the Author: A strict regimen of Southern-belle grooming should have prepared Anna Fields for a lifetime of ladylike behavior. But it didn't. As it turned out, Anna - a smart, outspoken, bookish girl - was a dud at debbing. After being kicked out of cotillion classes, the Rebel Deb left North Carolina to seek her fortune. Her first stop was Brown University - right in the heart of Yankee-land - and then the crazy world of Hollywood talent agencies and celebrity-packed restaurants. After a disastrous stint as Diana Ross' personal assistant, Anna headed off to the Big Apple, where she worked for one of Bravo's Real Housewives. It's a rollicking, unlikely success story from a natural-born storyteller.
