( ) 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. 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 This was a memoir of actress Sharon Gless who’s probably best known for the show Cagney & Lacey. She was quite candid about the ups and downs of her acting career, including the complaints she got. She was also candid about love affairs, anecdotes of other actors she met or worked with, drug and alcohol use, and relationships with friends and family. She was hard-working, funny, determined, and a risk taker. But she could also be quick tempered, reckless at times, and a bit too dramatic. I had mixed feelings about Sharon but she was not boring. I listened to this on audio which was read by the author. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Emmy Awardâ??winning actress Sharon Gless tells all in this laugh-out-loud, juicy, "unforgettably memorable" (Lily Tomlin) memoir about her five decades in Hollywood, where she took on some of the most groundbreaking roles of her time. Anyone who has seen Sharon Gless act in Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk, Burn Notice, and countless other shows and movies, knows that she's someone who gives every role her all. She holds nothing back in Apparently There Were Complaints, a hilarious, deeply personal memoir that spills all about Gless's five decades in Hollywood. A fifth-generation Californian, Sharon Gless knew from a young age that she wanted to be an actress. After some rocky teenage years that included Sharon's parents' divorce and some minor (and not-so-minor) rebellion, Gless landed a coveted spot as an exclusive contract player for Universal Studios. In 1982, she stepped into the role of New York Police Detective Christine Cagney for the series Cagney & Lacey, which eventually reached an audience of 30 million weekly viewers and garnered Gless with two Emmy Awards. The show made history as the first hour-long drama to feature two women in the leading roles. Gless continued to make history long after Cagney & Lacey was over. In 2000, she took on the role of outrageous Debbie Novotny in Queer as Folk. Her portrayal of a devoted mother to a gay son and confidant to his gay friends touched countless hearts and changed the definition of family for millions of viewers. Apparently There Were Complaints delves into Gless's remarkable career and explores Gless's complicated family, her struggles with alcoholism, and her fear of romantic commitment as well as her encounters with some of Hollywood's biggest names. Brutally honest and incredibly relatable, Gless puts it all out on the page in the same way she has livedâ??never with moder No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
