review 1: An amazing book by an amazing woman. This book is filled with stories of her life as well as essays written by some of her on screen characters. There are funny essays as well as chapters that deal with serious life issues such as bulimia, divorce, illness and death. It was a pleasure to read inside stories about performers who are no longer with us, John Candy, Gilda Radner. A fascinating glimpse behind the red curtain of theater, behind the camera in movies and television. Her chapters about writer's block, procrastination and other challenges as a writer ring true to me. My favorite of her roles-her appearances on Sesame Street, Aunt Voula in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", Serena in "Prince Charming." An amazing experience to read and know about one of our country's most ... moretalented actresses and her stellar career.
review 2: I am a fan of Andrea Martin. so was happy to get the chance to read her memoir. she shares bits and pieces of her life. From her childhood in Maine, to visiting Toronto in 1970 falling in love with the city and working and living there for the next 40 years. Ms.Martin has a real sense of humor. this memoir is composed of her work in SCTV show in Toronto. she talked about the cast and her friendship with them to this day. her work on Broadway. she even won two Tony's! I liked reading about her work on the movie "MY Big Fat Greek Wedding" She has two sons so she shared with the readers about Joe and Jack her now grown sons. some of the chapters were just subjects she wanted to share such as annoying passengers on airplane flights. Flying to Atlanta to get her haircut by a favorite hair cutter. I liked reading about the other performers she worked with. and oh yes there are even a couple chapters dedicated to her "lady parts" A fun read. I am glad i got the chance to try out Andrea Martin's memoir. less

Not bad. Some great lines in here. I like her feistiness regarding women getting older.
