Book Reviews of Speedbumps: Flooring It Through Hollywood
Book Review: Very Enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
Having seen many of Teri's movies I found her point of view very interesting. In retrospect she has really worked with some of Hollywood's heavy hitters. This was a very lighthearted look back on her career with funny stories about a wide range of a variety of celebrities. What suprised me most was her honesty about her insecurities about being an actress and how MS plays a role in all of this. Overall a very enjoyable read.
Summary of Speedbumps: Flooring It Through Hollywood
In this laugh-out-loud funny and inspiring autobiography, one of Hollywood?s best-loved comediennes muses about movies, men, motherhood, and MSIn a book that is at once Hollywood hilarious and personally moving, Teri Garr, star of such classic films as Young Frankenstein, Oh God!, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mr. Mom, and Tootsie, for which she received an Academy Award nomination, writes about her life with the same wit and warmth that have won the hearts of fans for over three decades.
From sipping Cokes with Elvis Presley to hangin? with the Beatles; from her secrets to succeeding in Hollywood without losing her sanity, to dealing with the fear, anxiety, and denial of being plagued by mysterious physical problems that eluded diagnosis for over twenty years?the insights in Speedbumps, while always couched in Garr?s trademark humor, are honest, heartfelt, and often profound.
