 Life of the Party: The Biography of Pamela Digby Churchill Hayward Harriman. - book reviews Insight on the News - Find ...
Life of the Party: The Biography of Pamela Digby Churchill Hayward Harriman (Little, Brown, 494 pages) by Christopher Ogden, a former Time magazine cortespondent, is interesting and engrossing when it deals with Harriman's political influence and the means by which she acquired it.
Harriman, invariably called Pamela or Pam by Ogden, comes across in his book as a rather nasty character, capable of appalling acts of cruelty to Hayward's children by Margaret Sullavan, or to the friends and family on whom Harriman relied before he married her, all in the cause of consolidating her own position.
If this account is to be believed, she even staged an elaborate charade at Harriman's funeral to disguise the fact that she intended to prevent him from being buried in the plot next to his penultimate wife.
