Дороти Паркер , урождённая Ротшильд — американская писательница и поэтесса еврейского происхождения, известная своим едким юмором, остротами и проницательностью в отношении пороков городской жизни XX века.

Несмотря на трудное детство, Паркер достигла успеха и признания, став известной как благодаря сотрудничеству в таких изданиях, как The New Yorker, так и в качестве члена-основателя прославленной группы писателей Algonquin Round Table, которую позже стала презирать. После распада этой группы Паркер поехала в Голливуд, где занималась написанием сценариев. Её успехи там, в том числе две номинации на премию «Оскар», в конечном итоге были ограничены, так как её участие в левом движении привело к тому, что она попала в «Чёрный список» Голливуда.

Паркер пережила три брака и ряд попыток самоубийства, однако в итоге стала зависимой от алкоголя. Хотя она сама критически отзывалась о своём таланте и сожалела о своей репутации как «остряка», её творчество и блестящие остроты выдержали испытание временем и остаются востребованными спустя долгое время после её смерти.

В 1994 году на экраны вышла картина «Миссис Паркер и порочный круг» режиссёра Алана Рудольфа. Главную роль блестяще исполнила Дженнифер Джейсон Ли. Драма о взлёте и падении известной американской писательницы XX века развенчала многочисленные слухи и домыслы, показав истинную историю жизни Дороти Паркер — «женщины, которую отвергли».

“And it is that word 'hummy,' my darlings, that marks the first place in The House at Pooh Corner at which Tonstant Weader fwowed up.”

Her "Constant Reader" book review of The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne, in The New Yorker (20 October 1928) http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1928/10/20/reading-and-writing-27

“If the English version is in what, in our youth, we used to speak of affectionately as dear old iambic pentameter, the actors mercifully abstain from reciting it that way; they speak their lines as good, hardy prose. p. 76”

“Of course, there are many things to be said for the afternoon performance, chief among them being that it cuts in so generously on one’s work. p. 201”

“Katharine Hepburn delivered a striking performance that ran the gamut of emotions, from A to B.”

Woollcott writes in While Rome Burns that Parker had "recently...achieved an equal compression in reporting on The Lake, Miss Hepburn, it seems, had run the whole gamut from A to B." These words do not appear in Dorothy Parker's 1934 printed review of The Lake, but were elsewhere described as a spoken remark. "'We might as well go back,' said Dorothy Parker during an intermission of The Lake in 1934, 'and watch Katharine Hepburn run the gamut of emotions from A to B.'"
"Hepburn From A to B : Close-up of a Stage Struck Youngster" by Alan Jackson, in Cinema Arts Vol. 1 No. 2, (July 1937)
Our Mrs Parker (1934)

“This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”

Quoted in The Algonquin Wits (1968) edited by Robert E. Drennan, and The Dispatch http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=r04cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=WFEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7250,5269688&dq=aside-lightly+dorothy-parker&hl=en (October 1962). As noted at Snopes, Drennan's source seems to be a Parker review which does not seem to contain this quote. If Parker wrote this statement anywhere the primary source seems to have gone missing.
The earliest attribution of this quote was published in the February 1960 Readers' Digest, and credited to a book review by Sid Ziff in the Los Angeles Mirror-News, which existed from 1955 to 1960. This is a little odd, considering that Sid Ziff was a sports columnist; the reference in Readers' Digest has been confirmed but the quote from the Mirror-News has not - see Quote Investigator http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/03/26/great-force/#more-5787 for details.
