Deborah McDonald and Jeremy Dronfield’s new biography of Moura Budberg A Very Dangerous Woman is getting consistently strong reviews.
‘In this richly romantic biography they also create an artistic, novelistic effect in the telling of her story as, perhaps, she might have liked it to be written. It would certainly have amused her as much as it will entertain the reader.’

For most of her life, Leigh Erceg was an athlete who loved NASCAR, a bubbly tomboy who worked on a ranch in remote northwestern Colorado. She had boyfriends and a degree in physical education and zero interest in math or art. A few years ago, Erceg, 47, suffered a traumatic brain injury and now she is a gifted artist and poet. She enjoys spending time puzzling over mathematical equations. She can “see” sounds and “hear” colors when she listens to music, although she is extremely sensitive to light. She remembers nothing about her prior life. She doesn’t even recognize her own mother. The story is told in the agency’s title Both Sides, Now: The Leigh Erceg Story by Maureen Seaberg and Leigh Erceg.
Leigh will be on ABC ‘Nightline’ tonight at 12:35 a.m. Eastern Time.
