My Lucky Stars: A Hollywood Memoir 9 reviews Shirley Maclaine
Bantam, 1996
For Smart People Only
+ Myh Lucky Stars + Many Men and Many Movies
This is a "Hollywood" memoir, not a "Shirley MacLaine" memoir, so be advised. Yeah, she's in there all right, but you get more, so much more. It's one of the most intelligent of all the star bios. If you are looking for a lot of mindless tibits and giggly gossip, you won't find much of that ...

Just Lucky I Guess: A Memoir of Sorts 19 reviews Carol Channing
Simon & Schuster, 2002
Hello Dully!
+ Rather Choppy- but fun! + Were You Expecting Eleanor Roosevelt's Autobiography?
Now, I understand that as we look back on our lives that we tend to remember the good times rather than the bad, but Carol does so to the point of chronicling a rather dull existence. She leaves out all the stories that made her one of the great survivors in the industry. Case in point, there's no ...

This is not always a comfortable read - especially when Ms. Stapleton tells about her childrens' response to her alcoholism. But she tells it like it is - and she never spares herself. Maureen Stapleton has indeed had a hell of a life, and a pretty great career, too. Her comments about acting ...
