EDITHLAYTON.COM IN THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Edith Layton, her website and her doting daughter, comedian Susie Felber, were highlighted in the New York Daily News in a piece by columnist Dawn Eden originally published on December 18, 2005.
Following is an excerpt:
Susie Felber may seem like a brassy New York comedian. She's been
on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" and performs in clubs. But
in fact, her life's the stuff of a romance novel. Literally.
Felber's mother, historical-romance writer Edith Layton, once wrote her
into a Victorian-era bodice-ripper, "The Gilded Cage."
