Reviews
On Jun 11 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
A very candid autobiography, and an exhilarating and moving tell-all of an extraordinarily complex and creative star. Poignantly recounting her passions, pain, and tragedies in remarkable openness and sincere reflection --- all told with Mary's characteristic wit, resolve, snd levelheadedness. From childhood star to America's girl-next-door in her role as Laura Petrie on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show', to her signature series in 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' garnering a record-breaking 29 Emmys, to memorable starring roles in motion pictures and on the Broadway stage in such momentous productions as, 'Ordinary People' and 'Whose Life Is It Anyway?'. All Interwoven throughout with not-until-now-known stories from behind-the-scenes ... and "endearing" relationships. She tells of her divorce from Grant Tinker, and their creation of the hugely successful MTM Enterprises. She heartbreakingly recalls the loss of her son, Richard, and her struggles and triumphs over alcoholism and diabetes, and where she is now. Peppered with sharp anecdotes, this is a sensitive and remarkable look at an enduring woman, and one of Hollywood's shinning stars. This was Ms. Moore's debut work.
