Lovely book from a lovely lady!
Betty's wit, wisdom and reflections prove that there's a lot more to her than a pretty face and wise-cracks. Talent, sensitivity and grace make her a beautiful author with something important to say. Show business enthusiasts and historians alike will greatly enjoy her story. And, since her career is enjoying a recent resurgence, we can only hope she'll write a sequel, soon!

Beautifully written.
I have loved the movies of both Betty Garrett and Larry Parks for years, and now feel that I have read their love story. Betty's descriptions of her multi-faceted career and personal life were written with humor, warmth, and love. She and Larry endured the 'unofficial' blacklist and other obstacles together, and showed what "in good times and in bad" really meant. I admire and adore them both even more now. Her book is a wonderful read and her career isn't even over.

Great Book!
I like Betty Garrett very much! From Laverne & Shirley, All In The Family-very funny! I like that the book is her autobiography! I can't wait to read all about the life & times of the lovely Betty Garrett! I also have David L. Lander's autobiography & the unofficial Penny Marshall book! Any one who's a fan of "Laverne & Shirley" e-mail me @: tiff_lisatony7@yahoo.com. We can chat about Betty, Penny, David, Cindy, Michael, Phil, & evrything else related to "Laverne & Shirley".

A Good Solid Book
Marion Jones is one of the Most Important Athletes in Sports over the past Decade She has forever changed what a Athlete can Proclaim as Goals.She had a Great Year at the Olympics.She will only get better with time.this is a Good Solid Book on Her I can't wait to see what Her Next Journey shall be She is Very Talented&Hard Working Person&very Down To Earth.

A Great Book for Sports fans!
This is a really good book about Marion Jones, the athlete who is trying to win five gold medals at the Olympics in Sydney. It is written in a fun way, and things aren't really slow for long periods. I am a track athlete, so I understand and can relate to the 200 meters, 100 meters and long jump (these are the events that she competes in). I think that it would be more enjoyable reading this book if you are famillar with track things. This book also covers her basketball career and when she was younger. I am a big femenist and I like to read about women who have changed a lot in sports, and this book informed me more about a great star.

Marion Jones is a champion
This book really gives you insight you wouldn't normally read about. The book starts when she was born, and continues up to the 2000 Olympics. Rapoport does an excellent job in writing about Marion. You go through the pain with Marion. I couldn't put the book down.
