Book Review of Rosie O! How She Conned America

Rosie O! How She Conned America


Cover blurb: Rosie O'Donnell became a true rags to riches American success story. After losing her mother to cancer and being raised by a father she calls abusive and alcoholic, she beat the odds to become one of the most versatile stars in the history of showbiz with hits in television, movies, theatre, and stand-up comedy. Marketing herself as the "Queen of Nice," her adoring fans could relate to this down-to-earth single mom who lusted for Tom Cruise, idolized Barbra Streisand and fought a never-ending battle with her weight. Then at the peak of her popularity as one of her friends said, 'something inside Rosie suddenly snapped."

My view of the book - a good look inside a nut case. This broad has as much common sense as a toothpaste tube.
