“Entertaining, Candid, Sincere,and Unique” is how I describe this book. The stories in “My Greatest Day in Showbusiness” are remarkable. The “information” one reads in gossip columns (or books sold for shock value) doesn’t even come close to giving a glimpse of who famous people really are. This did. Here we have integrity and entertaining reading at once. Refreshing.

I was at a seriously stuffy dinner party last week, and most of us did not know one another. It seemed no one could break the ice. Someone mentioned Jerry Springer for some reason, and after “normal opinions” were voiced, I related some of the highlights of his interview that are in this book. What a conversation we had because of what I’d read! Everyone ended up talking (sometimes over one another) and we forgot we were strangers. I just had to say thank you. I’m very glad I had read this book. It was most enlightening to be audience to legends we know by face and name, baring their souls about who they really are, and what has shaped them.

“My Greatest Day in Show Business” gave me a feeling of really understanding the seventy-five stars that were interviewed. Their frank answers made them “knowable” and “real”. Also, this book gave me an understanding of the kind of work, thought and care they pour into their careers. I’ve never really understood Hollywood before, but now I’m really starting to appreciate the show-biz work environment. I was inspired, delighted, taken aback, touched, and moved, as these celebrities revealed personal thoughts, opinions and stories. The stars have come down to Earth. I’ll never look at them the same, again. A very good book! <
