		Manheim wore a low-cut fl velvet gown that dipped in at the waist; her long hair was upswept like Audrey Hepburn's around a sparkly band; serious jewels dripped from her throat and earlobes.
		She was born Debra Frances Manheim (you didn't think her parents named her "Camryn," did you?) in Peoria, Ill., the younger daughter of good Jewish liberals with a long family history of labor activism and civil disobedience.
		Manheim is a natural writer; she has fine powers of description (her chapter on Emmy night is at once dishy and spellbinding), she's tart and funny and she's smart enough to know that interludes called "Conversations With My Fat," which are exactly what the title says, are best written with self-deprecating wit, not self-help earnestness.

		Manheim settled with her family in the Naples area of Long Beach while she was in the fifth grade.
		Manheim saw a therapist three times a week and began working as an interpreter for the deaf, a skill she learned in California, which helped boost her self-esteem.

	AfterEllen.com - Camryn Manheim and the "Girlfriend" Comment
		Manheim introduced her long-time friend Ann Cusack as "my girlfriend" at an April 14th charity event in Beverly Hills, CA, she apparently had no idea the firestorm of speculation that would erupt from her use of that adjective--but she probably should have.
		Manheim, as an unmarried straight woman who refuses to downsize her weight or her opinions, is consequently a prime target for the "lesbian" label.
		Manheim tried to ignore the rumors about her and Cusack at first, but when they persisted she finally issued a statement which, characteristically, refuted the media's interpretation of her comment without reinforcing the homophobic notion that it is a terrible thing to be "accused" of being gay:
