  "My Mother Was Nuts" by threejay (see profile) 11/27/12

I can't decide if I 'liked' or 'really liked' this book! I read it pretty much straight through - easy read - and I like her story telling style which is like she's just talking. I have always appreciated Marshall as an actor and a director. Her movies are some of the best of their time and her instincts are really really good. Some may say she neglected her child - we don't really know - she kind of keeps it private but admits she wasn't the best Mom ever. Some say she name drops incessantly - if the names dropped are your circle - then it's not name dropping. She surrounded herself with huge talent...they were her family, her friends. I enjoyed the book, learning about who 'Laverne' really is. We tend to think we know those we watch and come to love on the little screen never really knowing who they really are. Fun read, glad I did!
