Summer at Tiffany

Do you remember the best summer of your life? New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and Marty Garrett arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor. Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous, pinched pennies to eat at the Automat, and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with café society, she fell in love, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.--From publisher description.

  • "Marjorie Hart delivers the true story of two Iowa blondes who came to New York in the summer of 1945 and talked their way into jobs at Tiffany working as pages-interacting with everyone from Old Man Tiffany to Judy Garland-while having misadventures in the city and falling in love during the last months of WWII. Their workdays found the girls dazzled by the likes of honeymooners Judy Garland and Vincent Minnelli, Marlene Dietrich in her USO uniform, and legendary playboy Jimmy Donohue. They delivered and modelled priceless jewels, nearly lost precious pearls, and encountered Old Man Tiffany himself during a rare visit. In between getting lost in Harlem (& rescued by police!), witnessing the Eisenhower Parade, VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with the Cafe Society-Marjorie Hart fell in love, learned lessons and made decisions that would impact the rest of her life, and leave her nostalgic for that one unforgettable Summer at Tiffany."@en
