Book Review: "Laura Banks delightful and cheeky new memoir, "The Wrath of Blonde", is a humorous, self-deprecating and emotionally honest story of her brush with fame while piloting the Reliant in "Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan", almost getting blown up in the jungles of the Philippines for Roger Corman, striking out with Warren Beatty and failing to fall under the hypnotic, Svengali-like spell of Jack Nicholson among others, including a short-lived, but torrid romance with the Enterprise's charismatic skipper himself. Banks's Hollywood story as she navigates the pinnacles and pitfalls of showbiz regales her readers in this fun, breezy read. - Mark A. Altman (writer/producer, Free Enterprise; showrunner, Pandora; host, Inglorious Treksperts)
Her latest memoir The Wrath of Blonde chronicles surviving a dysfunctional childhood and suicidal death of her brother to moving on to star in films for Roger Corman which she shot in southeast Asia and almost died in the process. She then died repeatedly as a stand-up comic before becoming a regular at the biggest clubs in the U.S., including The Improvisation and Comedy Cellar in New York City, and now she brings her humor to her wild experiences in Hollywood, all the while navigating a way back to self-love, beyond her own demons, depression, and desperation. She helps others embrace their addictions and still shoot for the moon with her astrological system using the actual heavenly planets in the universe!

It is a laugh out loud, inspirational read, tempting all of us to follow our wildest dreams.
