Sharon Gless

this is the kind of memoir where it helps to know who she is and the parts she's played in movies and on tv, and to already care about her. i didn't realize that cagney and lacey was such a big deal when my mom watched it, that having two female leads had never happened before on a network show. there were parts of this that i liked but this wasn't written for me so i didn't care for it all that much.

As a child of the 70s & 80s, it was a HUGE deal when Cagney & Lacey aired on TV. I have adored Sharon Gless ever since and been a fan of her work. This book wasn’t just a memoir or a chance to name drop, the author bared her soul and shared her fears, insecurities, hope and dreams. And damn, it was funny. I highly recommend this. It’s proof that even folks who seem to have it all have the same insecurities and dreams the rest of us do.

DNF p. 192. I just lost interest.

I’ve always loved Sharon Gless - until I read this book!
Her portayal of herself is of a self-absorbed, selfish and petulant child.

She speaks of how much others do for her, but rarely seems to extend herself for lovers, friends or colleagues.

I wish I hadn’t read this book that shattered my respect for this fine actress
