I would have liked to have given this at least 4 stars. It was worth it to hear Penny describe growing up in New York and how she made her wonderful television shows and movies. I generally liked her attitude about life and people. On the other hand, her voice, which is both wonderful and awful to listen to, sometimes made it hard to discern what she was saying. There were also times where this experienced actress telling us about her life sounded like she was just reading a boring text. I knocked off 1/2 star for that.

Another 1/2 star comes off because of all the name and place dropping and partying and travel. I get it. She hangs out with amazing people. She's got money to burn and friends with private jets. She likes to party. It still makes it difficult to identify with her. Since she also feels obligated to not leave anyone out, there are many boring litanies of names, which are a drag for the listener who only knows who about half of those folks are. Even Penny sounds bored.

All-in-all worth a listen (or a read), if you're a fan. If you're not, don't bother.

This book was a lot of fun! Marshall included the names of every person she ever met! A good listen and brought plenty of smiles. I need to re-watch some of her movies now…

Probably one of the best auto biographies that I have read in a long time. Penny Marshall tells stories and names names which I really enjoyed. There are many stories in this book about her life before she became famous and after.
