Resumen del Editor

Emmy Award–winning actress Sharon Gless tells all in this laugh-out-loud, juicy, “unforgettably memorable” (Lily Tomlin) memoir about her five decades in Hollywood, where she took on some of the most groundbreaking roles of her time.

Anyone who has seen Sharon Gless act in Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk, Burn Notice, and countless other shows and movies, knows that she’s someone who gives every role her all. She holds nothing back in Apparently There Were Complaints, a hilarious, deeply personal memoir that spills all about Gless’s five decades in Hollywood.

A fifth-generation Californian, Sharon Gless knew from a young age that she wanted to be an actress. After some rocky teenage years that included Sharon’s parents’ divorce and some minor (and not-so-minor) rebellion, Gless landed a coveted spot as an exclusive contract player for Universal Studios. In 1982, she stepped into the role of New York Police Detective Christine Cagney for the series Cagney & Lacey, which eventually reached an audience of 30 million weekly viewers and garnered Gless with two Emmy Awards. The show made history as the first hour-long drama to feature two women in the leading roles.

Gless continued to make history long after Cagney & Lacey was over. In 2000, she took on the role of outrageous Debbie Novotny in Queer as Folk. Her portrayal of a devoted mother to a gay son and confidant to his gay friends touched countless hearts and changed the definition of family for millions of viewers.

Apparently There Were Complaints delves into Gless’s remarkable career and explores Gless’s complicated family, her struggles with alcoholism, and her fear of romantic commitment as well as her encounters with some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Brutally honest and incredibly relatable, Gless puts it all out on the page in the same way she has lived—never with moderation.

what an American treasure

worth a read and or listen, ms. guess evolution as a human is remarkable, so deliciously flawed. her impact on pop culture and history is highly valued by me

Ladies of the 80s

Growing up as a teenager in the 80s there were certain women I looked up to that made for character building icons…Sharon Gless was one…
What a wonderful listen. It felt like having an old friend return, catching up on old times and hearing new stories of where she’s been. Living legend, true, honest and gritty.

For the love of Sharon ‼️

I have never seen a performance by the incomparable Sharon Gless that I didn’t love.

She did not disappoint, it kept my interest and tickled my funny bone.

It was a delightful memoir, I was in no hurry for it to end. I’m sure I will listen again.

Bravo Ms. Gless.

Strong, tough marshmallow

Great book for Cagney and Lacey lovers. Ms Gless is a great narrator who has a interesting story to. tell.

Fucking Fabulous!!

Loved. loved, loved Sharon Glesses book and having her read it made it even better!!! I laughed alot and felt her pain as well. I'm now going to binge Cagney & Lacey!! Thank you Sharon!! ❤️

Funny, poignant, never boring

I’m also in my 70’s and grew up in LA with funny parents who worked at Technicolor & loved the movies from the far outskirts of the business. I’m well read & like memoirs, but this was a heartfelt story of a life I could loosely identify with partly because it was about life in my time, in my town, but mostly because it was unswervingly honest. Thanks Sharon, I feel like I know you yet never will! Such is a great memoir!

Big Fan

I have been a Sharon Gless fan from Cagney & Lacey, to Queer as folk, to burn notice and her many other film and TV appearances. She never disappoints so I knew the book would be good and again, she nailed it. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the life and career of this amazing actor

she is amazing!

I love Sharon Gless. she is real, honest, funny and a force to be reckoned with, even while she is crumbling inside. thank you for sharing your story :)

One of the best memoirs ever!

Loved Sharon's beautifully performed Audible version of this extraordinarily well written and interesting memoir. Well done!

Love, love, love Sharon’s memoir

I enjoyed every minute of this book. I’ve read many biographies and Sharon’s is the best! Thank you so much for baring your heart & soul!
