Blessed Life

My Surprising Journey of Joy, Tears, and Tales from Harlem to Hollywood

De: Kim Fields, Todd Gold - featuring

Narrado por: Kim Fields

From Facts of Life to Living Single to Dancing with the Stars to wife and mom, here's the Blessed Life of Kim Fields, veteran actress, TV personality, and star.

Kim Fields has lived most of her life with people thinking they know her, which is understandable. From her first job on a Mrs. Butterworth syrup commercial at age seven, she has spent 40 years in the public eye. There were nine years as Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey on the classic sitcom The Facts of Life, five more in her 20s starring as Regine Hunter on the seminal coming-of-age show Living Single, and most recently appearing as herself on Real Housewives of Atlanta and Dancing with the Stars.

Behind the camera, she has directed episodes of Kenan & Kel, Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns and House of Payne, and BET's Let's Stay Together. Between gigs, the pop culture icon's life has included theater, spoken word, music, speaking engagements, and simply being present to the point that she cannot go a day without someone stopping her to say, "When I was a kid, I wanted to be Tootie" or "You were my role model".

Flattered and blessed, after four decades in the business, Kim finally understands the role she has played onscreen and off as a successful, outspoken African American woman. However, for as much as she's been in the public eye, people have really never known her the way they think they have, and that's because she herself spent most of her life figuring herself out. Now, at age 48, she is ready to set the record straight. She says, "It's not that I've been misunderstood. It's that I finally feel like I understand me enough to tell the life story that I've been asked to write for years." It will be a chronicle of living, learning, and keen moments of self-discovery as she's journeyed through the many facets and chapters of life. Fields found faith at age 14 and has found God to be right there every step of the way since then.

Great Reader.

Didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did. Amazing Author and story line about her life. Memoirs are my absolute favorite to listen to. They give me a chance to hear about some of my favorite celebrities life.

Loved your story!

I always admired Kim Fields from the Facts of Life and beyond!! And her being a native New Yorker just endeared her to me even more!! I watched her on RHOA, and I admired her even more on how she carried herself against the shenanigans of the other housewives. She showed real substance. Her book just took it over the top for me!! There is no way anyone could compete with her knowledge, and experience when it comes to the entertainment world. Her acquaintances alone made your mouth drop!! God bless you Kim, and continue to be an inspiration to other women.
