This is a book about Joan Rivers by her daughter Melissa Rivers. I grew up in the '70s & '80s so I knew of Joan Rivers as a comic and a fill in for Johnny Carson but didn't really pay much attention to her career. Later I know she did the red carpet shows and her daughter helped out but I never really paid attention to those either. Not really sure why I picked up this book but found used & cheap and figured would be interesting and it is. Joan led an interesting life and a different sort of Hollywood life than many I would guess--just married once and not really a movie star but doing comedy and things on cable later. Interesting person and enjoyable read.
I have posted it on PBS & it is the only copy in system so figure at some point it should get requested.
