Do you love read autobiographies - I do!
my new year’s resolution is to read more autobiographies.
so I have just finished Matthew Perry. Feeling a bit sad as I read it after he died. He finished the book full of hope to beat his addiction and find a life partner. So sad.

next is Kathy Burke.

so which ones are you reading?

My favourites are American Prince by Tony Curtis and the David Niven ones.

I like the gossipy tone and stories about old Hollywood.

I’ve just read Tim Curry’s. It was ok. He says at the beginning he won’t be gossiping or telling about his love life and he doesn’t! And it’s all the more dull for it.
He also had a major stroke a few years ago and that’s only briefly discussed. All in all I feel it it’s a bit thin.

I finished Kathy Burke's a few weeks ago, really enjoyed it. I went through a phase of them about three years ago but haven't found as many I fancy recently. I enjoyed Barbra Streisand's last year but it was very, very long.

Following with interest! I would love some recommendations for autobiographies. I really enjoyed Betty White's and William Shatner's and am currently working my way through Jackie Chan's. All fascinating in different ways. Shatner is totally insane.

Bumping coz I'd like a few recommendations.
