Born in Green Forest, Arkansas, the oh-so-fabulous Cosmo editor and author of Sex and the Single Girl was 40 when that book was released. She edited Cosmo for over 30 years, and she was married to movie producer David Brown for 50 years until his death in 2010.
Good girls go to heaven, but bad girls go everywhere was the line famously attributed to HGB, and though the Googletron has declined to validate this, she also supposedly said that men were like bananas--better by the bunch.
What can one say about a woman like HGB, except you go, Gurley Brown! Salutations!
Here's a link to an article about her bio "Bad Girls Go Everywhere" written by a Bowdoin academic: http://www.bowdoin.edu/faculty/j/jscanlon/bad-girls-go-everywhere/index.shtml
