About the Author:
‘Excellent and often surprising ... contains plenty of hilarious lines ("Like any good, closeted young lesbian of the 70s," the second chapter memorably begins, "I developed a raging crush on Ron Howard") ... [and] evocative descriptions of the intense anger, loneliness and confusion that Lynch has known in her life ... self-knowledge and biting honesty characterises the book.’ Guardian
‘A frank, engaging, and at times uproariously funny autobiography of a roller-coaster life.’ Vogue
‘Hilarious, smart and stunningly honest.’ Scotsman
‘How a bubble-permed boozer from Illinois cleaned up her act to become one of the hottest names in Hollywood.’ Daily Telegraph
‘Moving and funny.’ Star magazine
‘Lynch is, for once, not going for laughs; she's going for something remarkably close to wisdom. . . . look[s] back over a life that would drive many memoirists to hyperbole if not histrionics with astonishing perspective.’ LA Times
Jane Lynch is a Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress. She has starred alongside Meryl Streep, Will Ferrell and Steve Carrell and is best known for her portrayal of the catty Sue Sylvester in the ultimate television success story of recent years, Glee.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 304 pages. Multiple copies available this title. This book is BRAND NEW. There is a small remainder mark. Items are in stock and shipped same day or next business day from our Australian address. SYNOPSIS: This is no typical Hollywood memoir of torment, grief, regret and plastic surgery. It's a simple but candid story of how a girl from Chicago came to Hollywood, overcame her demons, and finally hit the big time. Taking a good, hard look at herself, Lynch reveals that she and Sue Sylvester actually aren't all that different. At times in her life she 'was a real pain in the ass'. 'I was an anxiety-stricken kid with a big, scary secret.' How difficult it is to imagine this funny, bright, intelligent woman hitting rock bottom, but she is frank about her self-loathing during those years and paints a vivid picture of drunken nights, angry tirades and a person with no friends. In short, she was a real-life Sue Sylvester. Yet this very same woman has starred in string of great, fun movies, including Talladega Nights, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Role Models and Julie and Julia, with actors such as Steve Carrell, Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep. With her impeccable comic timing and quick wit, she has transformed what was originally a guest part on Glee into one of the programme's most central and defining characters, and has won several awards for doing so. Lynch relates the story of her comedy career in a voice that is modest, hilarious and endlessly entertaining, even though her own life hasn't always been such a laugh. Quantity Available: 3.
