As new condition red boards, black spine, and red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preface; Prologue: Just a Small Town Girl; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Indulge yourself with this witty and compelling ride through her dreams, tribulations, stumbles, and memories. Once you start the journey with Sally, there's no turning back." -- Lily Tomlin. "Sally Kellerman is an American original. She's the girl who wore her slippers to the market. Read My Lips is a sexy, funny, honest, and sometimes heartbreaking memoir that takes the rader right into the present. It's totally human, and you have to love it." -- Elliott Gould. "Make Sally's acquaintance . She's touching, warm, funny, and ever so honest! . a real treat!" -- Dyan Cannon. "The iconic "Hot Lips Houlihan" of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H chronicles growing up in -- and alongside -- Hollywood, from the reign of Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen to the celebrity culture of today. Sally Kellerman earned an Academy Award nomination for her brilliant comic turn in M*A*S*H. The nearly six-fee-tall, sultry-voiced blonde has always defied typecasting, becoming an indelible presence on-screen and working with stars as diverse as Alan Arkin, Laurence Olivier, Bud Cort, Tony Curtis, John Gielgud, Elliot Gould, Sissy Spacek, and Rodney Dangerfield. She is as at home onstage as she is in front of a camera, and toured nationally as a lauded cabaret singer. Read My Lips traces Kellerman's career -- launched in Jeff Corey's famous acting class, where she trained with an array of stars-in-the-making including friend Jack Nicholson -- as well as her colorful life. A native Angeleno, she came of age in small-town Hollywood, waitressing at a coffee shop that was a hangout for Brando, McQueen, and Warren Beatty. In the early '60s, Hollywood was a tiny town, full of chance encounters. While she watered her lawn one morning in her bathrobe, her new neighbor Ringo Starr stopped by in his convertible, inviting her to visit; through her friend actress Jennifer Jones, she met Henry Kissinger. She was a lifelong friend and casting favorite of legendary director Robert Altman. Through the years there were career highs and lows, along with drugs, affairs, diets, star-studded group therapy, marriages, unexpected motherhood, and rebirth as a recording artist. Kellerman's rise to fame parallels Hollywood's own growth from a neighborhood ringed by orange groves and dotted with landmarks like space-age Goggie's restaurant and the hat-shaped Brown Derby, to the glittering, if more homogenized, industry boomtown it is today. Inspiring, poignant, and often hilarious, Sally Kellerman's story is a paean to the power of reinvention. As she says: "Won't Hollywood be great once it's finished? Won't we all?" -- from the inner front jacket flap. …

Description de la boutique
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
