Introduction
Jean Kerr 1923–
American novelist and playwright.
Kerr's writing reflects a humorous outlook on life's commonplace frustrations. Many of her plays have been produced on Broadway, some in collaboration with her husband, theater critic Walter Kerr. Her best-selling novel, Please Don't Eat the Daisies, details the zany catastrophes which beset a "typical" suburban housewife and mother; it has been filmed and also adapted as a television series.
