Sorry about not reviewing this book sooner. Had a lot going on when I received the book. I knew when I had the chance I would read. I loved the Laverne and Shirley show very much. They were great times to sit and just laugh during the entire show. It was fun to read about Boo Boo Kitty. I remember Shirley with the cat. It was interesting seeing how she did a lot more in Hollywood then I realized. She had a tough up bringing but still survived and made something for herself. Glad she stuck to acting even though she had thought about leaving before receiving the part of Shirley.. Good book glad I was finally able to read. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I really enjoyed this book and I apologize for not reviewing it earlier (I marked it off my list as completed for some reason).If you enjoyed Laverne and Shirley and/or like autobiographies, I highly recommend this book. I really enjoyed learning more about Cindy Williams! Her book was well written and very entertaining. I gave it to a friend of mine who loves autobiographies and I know she'll enjoy it as much as I did. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. As a well-known actress and comedian, Cindy Williams has entertained generations of fans. While she is most notably known for her roles of Shirley Feeney in the hit TV series Laverne & Shirley and Laurie Henderson in the classic film, American Graffiti, Williams has had many other adventures in Hollywood. In her autobiography, Williams shares her journey from humble beginnings to stardom. Along the way she waited tables at the Whiskey a Go Go, traveled to Spain, and became a mother. Filled with humorous anecdotes, Williams takes the reader on a fun ride. The Bottom Line: Williams is charming, candid, and gracious as she shares stories filled with laughter and a few tears. Her personality shines through in the writing which is approachable and easy to read. While you won't find anything scandalous or outwardly negative in Williams' book, fans will find plenty of interesting tidbits and trivia. This quick read is perfect for the beach. It's fun weekend reading for anyone interested in acting, comedy, and television. More stories and more information about Williams' personal life would have made this fun read even better. Includes several pages of black and white glossy photos. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Cindy Williams, half of the comedic duo of Laverne & Shirley, has had a wild and lively career in show business. This book is an engaging and heartfelt journey from Williams's blue collar roots to unexpected stardom--from being pranked by Jim Morrison while waiting tables at Whisky a Go Go to starring in one of the most iconic shows on television. With wit and candor, Cindy tells stories of her struggles as a child growing up with meager means and dreaming of becoming an actress. She also shares many misadventures and amusing anecdotes about some of the most famous actors in Hollywood. Never taking herself too seriously, Cindy finds humor and irony in the challenging world of show business. No library descriptions found. |

It was a quick read. I enjoyed reading about her start in show business and the movies she was in and tried out for and a lot of the celebrities she met, etc.
However, I was disappointed that there wasn't more about Laverne & Shirley. It seemed very scarce in the book. Also, nothing about her personal life only a mention about her 2 kids when they were born after 8 seasons of L&S and they didn't want her back when she was pregnant with her first child. That's her choice since that's her life but I like a "meatier book." No wonder it was only 160 pages or so. ( )
