Apparently There Were Complaints by Sharon Gless
Emmy Awardwinning actress Sharon Gless tells all in this laugh-out-loud, juicy, and touching memoir about her five decades in Hollywood.
"Written by a masterful storyteller, this smart account boldly reveals both the grit and the glamour of Gless’s life, candidly contending with her substance abuse, various affairs, and the fact that writing her memoir took almost seven yearsFans will be delighted."--Publishers Weekly
"A good Hollywood memoir is a little bit dishy, a little bit honest, and a lot like sitting down for a candid conversation with an old friend, and Gless shares all the dirty details of her unlikely journey to stardom with a wry chuckle.... Celebrity memoir fans will find lots to enjoy here, as well as anyone with fond memories of Cagney & Lacey or Queer as Folk. Discussions of mental health, alcoholism, and relationships, and a connected Hollywood family bring strong comparisons to Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking (2008). A perfect book to get lost in this winter."--Booklist, (starred review)
“Sharon is so authentically herself. Every word is completely believable, except her being “happy” that Tyne Daly won the Emmy for the first three seasons of Cagney & Lacey.”--Tyne Daly
“Sharon finally gives me credit for saving her floundering career! --Robert Wagner
“Sharon’s book is proof that you can take the girl out of Hollywood, but only to a private island off the coast of Miami.”-- Rosie O’Donnell
“Sharon has played so many memorable roles. And, if you’ve forgotten them, she certainly hammers it back into your head in Apparently There Were Complaints. Seriously, I found her book to be unforgettably memorable. Of course, this morning, I couldn’t find my keys.”--Lily Tomlin
"Sharon and I have been close friends forever. Her book reminds me that I really liked her better when she was drinking."--Renée Taylor
“Sharon wrote a book?”--Jane Lynch
