I'll Cry Tomorrow (book)
I'll Cry Tomorrow is a 1954 autobiography by Lillian Roth, co-written by Roth, Gerold Frank and journalist Mike Connolly. It is a "brutally frank" depiction of Roth's alcoholism, one of the earliest books by a celebrity on addiction, and influential in drawing attention to alcoholism as a disease.[1][2][3] It sold over 7 million copies in 20 languages. It was adapted into the 1955 film of the same name.[4]
