Who do you think should release a memoir ?

The correct answer is Ms Stevie Nicks.

Thread closed.

Dana Delany

Liza; Jason Gould; Krist Novoselic; Elton John; Warren Beatty; Madonna; Ronan Farrow; Tiffany Trump

I'm always more interested in writers', directors', or showrunners' memoirs because they're usually more intelligent than actors, and usually more honest.

I'd love to read memoirs by Scorsese, Spielberg, Matt Weiner, David Chase.

Martha Plimpton. Who else would have chapters on the Carradines, River Phoenix, and the loathsome Noah Galvin?

R3 keep up

Vanessa Williams

Stevie Wonder

I'd like to read the memoir of some chased-after male whore who slept with everyone famous in the 1980s or 1990s, sort of like the Scotty Bowers biography. But he would have to name names.

Nestor Gaetz

Mike Johnson's adopted black son

Mick Jagger. Keith’s was fantastic.

Billy Gilman

Danny DeVito. I'd like a really encyclopedic memoir where he talks about every project he's started in or directed. I'd like at least 50 pages on his work as Frank Reynolds.

Big band living legend Ray Anthony.

I'd like to read an HONEST memoir from John Travolta. He'd never write one, though

Angie Dickinson. I’m sure she’s seen it all.

Courtney Love

[quote] Angie Dickinson. I’m sure she’s seen it all.

And she's also forgotten it all. She has dementia.

Vanessa Williams wrote a bio.

(and yes she detailed the photo shoots. They were so sordid. Thru therapy she realized she was acting out sexually due to childhood molestation by a cousin. A FEMALE cousin.)

Rosanna Arquette - seriously.

She was the name for Toto's biggest hit Rosanna (she was dating a guy in Toto at the time). She was on Madonna's first film. She dated Peter Gabriel, Sting, she was really close/dated Paul McCartney, and many many more.

She turned down the role for The Accused - and Jodie Foster took it.

She really got around - but she never made it that big professionally. She must have something that I can see - because I wouldn't say she's exactly a beauty.

John "Jellybean" Benitez

Sondra Prill

r22 Without hesitation, I would buy that instantly.

Ringo

He won't though because he's a nice guy.

[quote] She must have something that I can see

Tiny body, big boobs.

I remember when Elton's memoir came out a couple of years ago, and I was working for our public library. We were a very busy library, and patrons always wanted the 'newest releases' that had the most buzz in the media We ordered two copies of his book when it came out, hoping it would cut down on the 'wait list' we were expecting. We were surprised to see it wasn't the 'blockbuster' book we thought it would be. There wasn't much of a 'wait list' to speak of, and we certainly didn't need two books (after a couple of months we traded it for another book with a library from another city). I was hesitant about checking it out myself (I'm not a huge EJ fan, but I thought his memoir would be worth reading) and when I asked the patrons who returned it what they thought, it was mostly an "Ehh. It was okay." I never bothered with it.

Sean Storm

R27 I never realized that librarians had such hectic and exciting lives.

Fanny Farmer

Mr. Clean

I would enjoy a memoir by Joy Behar of 'The View'. For 25+ years she has shared a lot of 'memories' of her life from growing up in an Italian family as an only child to becoming a success. I think it's high time she elaborated on those stories and put them in book form.

She grew up an Italian family as an only child and became a success. Wow ! sounds fascinating So many obstacles to overcome, so many triumphs, so many tragedies and such a bore

John McVie

I would love to read an honest memoir by Liza, but you know she would never tell the truth.

Same, r23! She could call her memoir The Thrill Of the Prill.

[quote]Courtney Love

Bingo! I think she's supposed to be writing it now.

Cher was supposed to release the second part of her memoir (which starts in 1980) the first week of November, but it has been delayed to the third week of May, a few says before her 80th birthday.

I would LOVE to read a totally honest, self-reflective autobiography by Tom Cruise. Of course it will never happen. But I would love to get inside the mind of that Thetan weirdo.

There is only one correct answer.

ROBERT. DOWNEY. JUNIOR.

Ryan Routh should take pen to paper

Robert De Niro

R50 Now that would be quite a book. I would love to read that, too.

[quote] Cher was supposed to release the second part of her memoir

Oh, Lord no! Her first part was excruciating enough. It was the autobiography of an old woman as written by a 9th grader. Depth = zero.

R55 I actually enjoyed her book last year. For me, it was a nice relief after trudging through Streisand's 900+ pages covering much trivial nonsense (and I couldn't wait to get my hands on her book). Cher's was very straight-forward and to the point with a sense of humor thrown in. I enjoyed it. I'm glad she split it into 2 volumes.

[Quote] Martha Plimpton. Who else would have chapters on the Carradines, River Phoenix, and the loathsome Noah Galvin?

Who they?

I realize this will probably never happen, but I would love a truthful, detailed memoir by Charlene de Monaco.

Colin Cancer

Maria Shriver.

She's got a LOT of dirt on Arnold, Oprah and her whole fam. But of course she won't.

Stanley Tucci

Tim Curry's autobiography will be released October 14.

R20, I believe Rosanna clarified the Toto song was not written about her, as it was written before she started dating the Toto member. I do think she has some good stories to tell though.

R20 R63 This article states Arquette went on talk shows after the song came out, falsely claiming the song was about her.

[Quote] And yet, even as it was a hit around the world there was a major bone of contention surrounding Rosanna. On the television networks of America, Rosanna Arquette was informing audiences that the song had been written in tribute to her.

[Quote] “It was just an opportune moment for her to grab the brass ring and run with it,” says Kimball. “She was just starting her career, and the song was so big that she went on several talk shows and said it was about her. But I can tell you that it wasn’t. David’s line was always that he just used the name because it fitted into the song. Then she came into the picture and claimed it.”

[Quote] That sentiment that has always been supported by Paich. “Rosanna is about three girls I knew, all rolled into one,” he explains. “After I met Rosanna Arquette I just stole her name and stuck it on there.”

[Quote] As the years went by, the war of words between Arquette and Toto over the spiritual ownership of Rosanna has gone back and forth, ranging in tone from playful to hostile. In one 2006 interview Lukather openly expressed the opinion that “that bitch has ridden our coat-tails long enough”. Arquette, meanwhile, has claimed in print that she doesn’t even like the song. “That’s because it’s no longer useful to her,” argues Kimball.

Miss Michael Learned

How else are we going to find out who those two bitches disrespecting her in the elevator were?

MISS Helen Lawson

R64 This story needs to be its own thread.

I wish Margot Kidder would have completed her memoirs. She had started working on them again after the infamous incident, but they never got released.

Sally Kirkland. She might be a bit cuckoo, but she must have A TON of stories. (Being Shelley Winters goddaughter, hanging out with Pacino/DeNiro and the actors studio scene of the late 60's, early 70's. Besties with Bob Dylan at one point. Coached Streisand on Yentl and did a Romeo and Juliet production with her that Streisand said was her best piece of acting. Was Sandra Bullock's acting coach/mentor when she first got into showbiz.)

Christopher Atkins

Duncan Hines

Lucy wanted to write a memoir, but Gary talked her out of it.

Until your comment, R70, I dudn't know that Duncan Hines was a real person. I found a biographical article about him (linked below). There is an "authoritative biography" about him: "Duncan Hines: How a Traveling Salesman Became the Most Trusted Name in Food" which we will have to make do with.

Aunt Jemima

Michael McKean

Laverne & Shirley; Spinal Tap; Clue. That’s just three huge fan bases who would buy it. He’s done so much more and I’d love to know about it all. He’s the last living original cast member from L&S; spill all the dirt. He did a year on SNL during a shitty transitional era; would love to hear those stories. Best In Show!

Kevin Lanflisi.

We need him to spill the tea ASAP.

Janet Jackson - if she dared to tell the truth.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I just read that Bonnie Tyler released her memoir in 2023, shortly before Streisand released hers. That could be why I missed it, with all the attention on Streisand that fall - I'll have to see if my library has it. Has anyone read it ? Was it any good ?

North West

Ida Ho

I heard Gary Morton was going to write his memoir, but Lucy talked him out of it.

[quote]Big band living legend Ray Anthony.

I just looked him up and wow he's 103, born on January 20, 1922.

At just 18 in 1940, he joined Glenn Miller's (then new) band, making him the last surviving member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, which disbanded in 1944 due to Miller's disappearance during WW2.

He, too, served in the military during the war, and in the '50s was married to blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren, who is still alive at age 94.

Personally, I'd be very interested in what he has to say about growing up in the '20s and '30s. I'm drawn to those two decades for the cars, which were still archaic-looking, and the trends/fashions.

It was a transitional period between the two world wars.

Women's attire changed drastically in the '20s, which also saw the debut of radio (1920) and talking pictures (1927). The radio, in particular, became the dominant home entertainment medium, until it was replaced with television in the 1950s.

Handsome man, too.

MADONNA

PETULA CLARK!

Why, her book is coming out any day now - imagine that ? She'll be 93 in six weeks or so.

Luigi Mangione

Here's a short video of Tim Curry promoting the audiobook of his memoir Vagabond. He said it is about his "wicked, wicked life" but couldn't use that title because it was too similar to the one Errol Flynn chose for his memoir. Tim said he could give Flynn a run for his money.

I hope this is not false advertising. If it is, there will be a lot of disappointed fans, after that tease.

What do you think: will the notoriously private Mr. Curry reveal himself, after all these years?

(I could only find this video on Facebook. Link below.)
