My Lucky Stars: A Hollywood Memoir9 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 Sorts19 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 ...
