Alice Marble: A life of fame, fabrication and tragedy

This week New York Times best-selling author Robert Weintraub
joins Finn Ranson to tell the incredible story of Alice Marble,
who rose to stardom in the late 1930s but has since faded from
the history books.


Last month, Robert published the first biography of her life, The
Divine Miss Marble. We spoke about the mysteries that inspired
him to take her story on and her transformative - and turbulent -
relationship with her coach, Eleanor Tennant, who inspired Alice
to one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.


The Divine Miss Marble: A life of Tennis, Fame, and Mystery is
published by Dutton and is available from Penguin Random House
for $29.00.
