* EMBARGOED AUTHOR * DO NOT ANNOUNCE PUBLICLY *All we want is for someone to tell us a tale. Make it wild. Make it entertaining. Make it our own.Her mother called her the meanest baby. She always wanted to be a writer, until a trusted teacher pointed her towards acting, and she found fame. Now, she returns to her first love, and tells the story of her life. From growing up with a glamorous, exacting mother, to her friendships with the likes of Carrie Fisher, from her starring roles and her marriages to her struggles with sexual assault and alcoholism, from her joy in becoming a mother to being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.The woman who emerges in these pages is not someone who turns away from hard truths or puts a Hollywood gloss on her life. She's refreshingly unfiltered and achingly funny. If anything, having MS has emboldened her to look right into the heart of things with a breathtaking frankness. Illuminated by childhood illustrations and photographs from her life offscreen, this unique memoir reveals her stunning voice for the first time.
