Fiona Phillips: Before I forget
Fiona Phillips: Before I
Forget
    Fiona Phillips is one of
    our best-loved television
    presenters. Well-known
    for being warm, chatty
    and down to earth, she
    attended her local
    comprehensive in
    Southampton before
    studying English in
    Birmingham. For over
    twelve years she
    presented GMTV, during
    which time she
    interviewed some of the
    most famous and
    influential people on the
    planet, from film stars
    to royalty, politicians
    to local heroes. But in
    August 2008 Fiona
    announced that she was to
    quit the job she loved,
    revealing that her
    father, Phil, had been
    diagnosed with
    Alzheimer's just a year
    after her mother had died
    of the same disease and
    that she had decided to
    devote more time to him
    and to her family. Before
    I Forget is a wonderfully
    honest account of growing
    up in the 1960s and 70s
    within a complex family.
    During her childhood her
    father could sometimes be
    distant and demanding
    which both saddened her
    and drove her to succeed,
    her mother always the
    devoted wife and the
    steady heart of the
    family. When Fiona lands
    the job at GMTV she
    revels in how proud they
    are of her achievement.
    When her mother and then
    her father succumb to
    Alzheimer's we share in
    Fiona's sadness as she
    movingly describes
    watching them fade away,
    one moment interviewing
    George Clooney the next
    taking a call from
    Pembrokeshire Social
    Services to say that her
    mother had wandered away
    from her care home.
    Before I Forget is an
    extraordinary book which
    will resonate with
    Fiona's millions of fans
    and the millions of
    people who day-by-day are
    going through, or have
    gone through, the same
    experiences

Jane Lynch: Happy Accidents
Jane Lynch: Happy Accidents
    This is the hilarious and
    inspiring story of how
    Jane Lynch changed from a
    real-life Sue Sylvester
    to the happy and
    fulfilled actress she is
    today. In 1974, a
    fourteen-year-old girl in
    Dolton, Illinois, had a
    dream. A dream to become
    an actress, like her
    idols Ron Howard and
    Vicki Lawrence. But it
    was a long way from the
    South Side of Chicago to
    Hollywood, and it didn?t
    help that she?d recently
    dropped out of the school
    play, The Ugly Duckling.
    But the funny thing is,
    it all came true. Through
    a series of happy
    accidents, Jane Lynch
    created an improbable ?
    and hilarious ? path to
    success. In those early
    years, despite her
    dreams, she was also
    consumed with anxiety,
    feeling out of place in
    both her body and her
    family. To deal with her
    worries about her
    sexuality, she escaped
    in positive ways ? such
    as joining a high school
    chorus not unlike the one
    in Glee ? but also found
    destructive outlets. She
    started drinking almost
    every night her freshman
    year of high school and
    developed a mean and
    judgmental streak that
    turned her into someone
    similar to her on-screen
    nemesis, Sue Sylvester.
    Then, at thirty-one,
    she started to get her
    life together. She was
    finally able to embrace
    her sexuality, come out
    to her parents, and quit
    drinking for good. Soon
    after, a Frosted Flakes
    commercial and a chance
    meeting in a coffee shop
    led to a role in the
    Christopher Guest movie
    Best in Show, which
    helped her get cast in
    The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
    Similar coincidences led
    to roles in movies
    starring Will Ferrell,
    Paul Rudd, and even
    Meryl Streep in
    2009s Julie &
    Julia. Then, of course,
    came the two lucky
    accidents that truly
    changed her life. Getting
    lost in a hotel led to an
    introduction to her
    future wife, Lara. Then,
    a series she?d signed up
    for was abruptly
    cancelled, making it
    possible for her to take
    the role of Sue Sylvester
    in Glee, which made her
    a megastar. Today, Jane
    Lynch has finally found
    the contentment she
    thought she?d never have.
    Part comic memoir and a
    story of real-life luck,
    this is a book equally
    for the rabid Glee fan
    and for anyone who needs
    a new perspective on
    life, love, and
    success.
