Product Description
By the time she was thirty, Teri Garr was one of Hollywood's best-loved comic actresses, receiving an Oscar nomination for her role in Tootsie. In October 2002, Teri made headlines by announcing on national television that she had multiple sclerosis. Since then, she has become a leader in raising awareness about MS and its treatments. In a book that is at once Hollywood hilarious and personally moving, Teri writes about her life - speedbumps and all.

What a great read. Teri has a quirky, sarcastic wit that comes through brilliantly in this book. I just wish it was longer.

I have always enjoyed Teri Garr as an actress and thought her book would be enjoyable. But it went far beyond that! She is fabulous. I can only imagine knowing her "in-person" and what a blast she must be to have as a friend. She has a similar attitude toward MS that I would like to say I took toward cancer and she is quite a hero. Ms. Garr deserves to live a long, rich, happy and healthy life! Please enjoy the book!!!!!

Teri Garr is the type of person who you wish you knew personally. She is so down to earth in a celebrity world that is full of over prententious egos. I have enjoyed her movie roles and the interchanges that she had with David Letterman on his show were classic. The book is an entertaining look into life that demonstrated her tenaciousness to get what she wanted while keeping a wonderful sense of humor. She takes those two qualities with her as she fights multiple sclerosis. We all should have her attitude regarding the challenges that we face in life.

A very interesting life. Full of fun and hard work. She is tackling her disease with gusto, the way she has always aproached life.

Having seen many of Teri's movies I found her point of view very interesting. In retrospect she has really worked with some of Hollywood's heavy hitters. This was a very lighthearted look back on her career with funny stories about a wide range of a variety of celebrities. What suprised me most was her honesty about her insecurities about being an actress and how MS plays a role in all of this. Overall a very enjoyable read.
