This bright and sassy celebrity bio includes enough name-dropping for the movie/TV fan, but stops short of being a "then I slept with" tell-all. Garr comes through as someone you'd like to pal around with.

Very funny. I always liked Teri Garr and this made me like her even more. She recounts her whole career along with the 20 years of bizarre symptoms that finally resulted in a diagnosis of MS. She seems to be a very down to earth woman dealing with a potentially crippling disease. Very uplifiting.

I really enjoyed this book. Very well written and I enjoy her sense of humor.

Bear in mind that her story of battling MS doesn't begin until late in the book. Until then, it's an autobiography of a second-tier film actress, nothing more.
