Adrienne Barbeau never set out to be a sex symbol, and she never planned on giving birth to twins when she was 51, but both those stories and a lot more are detailed in this witty, revealing memoir. With humor and fearlessness, she shares her romance with a superstar, her marriage to a famous film director, her marriage to a much younger man and her successful battle with infertility.

Valerie Wyatt is the queen of gracious living and the arbiter of taste with a successful TV show. Since her long-ago divorce, she’s worked hard to reach the pinnacle of her profession and to create a camera-ready life in her Fifth Avenue penthouse. So why is she so depressed? All the hours with her personal trainer, the careful work of New York’s best hairdressers, cosmetic surgeons, and her own God-given bone structure and great looks can’t fudge the truth or her lies about it: Valerie is turning sixty.

When Barbara Walters launched The View, network executives told her that hosting it would tarnish her reputation. Instead, within 10 years, she’d revolutionized morning TV and made household names of her cohosts: Joy Behar, Star Jones, Meredith Vieira, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. But the daily chat fest didn’t just comment on the news. It became the news. And the headlines barely scratched the surface. Based on unprecedented access, award-winning journalist Ramin Setoodeh takes you backstage where the stars really spoke their minds.

SHORT AND NOT SO SWEET
The Actor is a selfish man and The Wife a selfish woman. I liked the fact that the actor was not given a name as I can imagine many famous men in this role. The narrator was good~the ending quite unexpected.

Thrilling to the finale
Any additional comments?
Even though I knew to expect chilling stories, I was pleasantly surprised at how well these were told. I did get chills at the end of each of these short tales that were strange indeed. I'll be looking for more books by this author for those nights when I want a thrill and maybe a little scare. Recommend!

Sassy, short and succinct - loved it!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Actor to be better than the print version?
The luxury of the rich voice, reading personally to me! appeals more than a print version.
What did you like best about this story?
I was waiting for something unexpected to happen but I was still surprised by the ending.
Which character – as performed by Ron Herczig – was your favorite?
The Actor - narcissistic yet vulnerable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The Central Park date really appealed to me. I'd love a meeting like that!
Any additional comments?
Great short story which left me wanting more! The narrator had the perfect voice for the character. I would love to have a six - twelve hour, or longer, audiobook with his narration to listen to during my two hours of commuting each day!
Going to google Maryln Parel now . . . . .
