5.0

I loved this book. I kind of find it ironic that the only reason I read it is because Miriam Margolyes was on Harry Potter and that’s like her least favorite thing she’s done in her career. 
She’s an icon honestly. Living out loud and being herself in every way. This book was full of the dirty filthy stories and innuendos she’s known for but also the real things. She talks about being a Jewish Lesbian and how it has affected her career and life. 
She discusses politics, both of the Hollywood variety and of the world. I feel like I learned so much about the world from this book.

Miriam really likes to talk. And talk she does. She talks about how she ended up in drama because she likes to act. She's fabulous at accents. I can't believe how old she is! She spent so long in the closet, my heart really goes out to her. She talks open and honestly, which I really liked. As a Stage Manager, it's really cool to hear about how the industry has developed and how, as a successful performer, she's got a happy life through the arts.
