There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art. The release I felt in writing my first memoir, Not My Father’s Son, was matched only by how my speaking out empowered so many to engage with their own trauma. I was reminded of the power of my words and the absolute duty of authenticity.

Growing up, Jill had wanted two things: a marriage like her parents' - strong, loving, and full of laughter - and a career. An early heartbreak had left her uncertain about love until she met Joe. But as they grew closer, Jill faced difficult questions: How would politics shape her family and professional life? And was she ready to become a mother to Joe's two young sons?

Publisher's summary
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.

Story
In 1969, Illeana Douglas' parents saw the film Easy Rider and were transformed. Taking Dennis Hopper's words - "That's what it's all about, man" - to heart, they abandoned their comfortable upper-middle-class life and gave Illeana a childhood filled with hippies, goats, free spirits, and free love. Illeana writes, "Since it was all out of my control, I began to think of my life as a movie, with a Dennis Hopper-like father at the center of it." I Blame Dennis Hopper is a rollicking, funny, at times tender exploration of the way movies can change our lives.

Beloved stage and screen actor Danny Aiello’s big-hearted memoir reveals a man of passion, integrity, and guts - and lays bare one of the most unlikely success stories ever told. Danny Aiello admits that he backed into his acting career by mistake. That’s easy to see when you begin at the beginning: Raised by his loving and fiercely resilient mother in the tenements of Manhattan and the South Bronx, and forever haunted by the death of his infant brother, Danny struggled early on to define who he was and who he could be.

I am left longing for more.
Sharon Gless makes her life irresistible. she paints with voice & words each scene, so vividly, you feel you were in the room. Her many years of work & many years of meeting the personal challenges "had me" within the first 10 minutes.
If you think you know her from any TV role she's played, boy, you're clueless. The only problem for me is that her memoir's end came too quickly... I need a sequel. This Audible was like a fabulous box of chocolates I could only enjoy one piece at a time. I had to use all my self-control to listen to an hour each evening because I sensed it would fly by too fast.
Sadly. I now wish I could call her and tell her about this terrific book I just finished. Or, also living on Planet Florida, invite her to lunch because I'd like to call her a friend. So whether by Kindle or hard cover or Audible, get started now. This memoir is a fantastic ride that'll have you smiling, misty-eyed, nodding & wishing to know Ms. Guess in real life, too.
P.S. Ms. Gless, Christine Cagney always wished she could be you when she grew up.
P.P.S. Audible, when the reader says the chapter number, please have your apps number agree with it.

This was an excellent book. So difficult to press pause because every part of her life was so interesting. Absolutely worth your time. The best part was that Sharon read it herself. That unmistakably voice and her delivery was perfect. I felt like I was having coffee with a friend.

My favorite audio book ever!
I wasn't sure what to expect but this truly is my favorite audio book ever! You miss the real Sharon Gless if you only read the book. You need to hear her voice. It was heartbreaking and hilarious, revealing and raw. If only more people were as open about their flaws and mistakes as Sharon is, this world would be a much better place. I adored her as Chris Cagney but love her more as Sharon Gless. I will listen to it again!
