Synopsis
Growing Up Laughing: My Story and the Story of Funny is a book that only Marlo Thomas could write--a smart and gracious, witty and confident autobiographical journey. For as long as Marlo Thomas can remember, she's lived with laughter. Born to comedy royalty--TV and nightclub star Danny Thomas--she grew up among legendary funny men, carved much of her career in comedy and, to this day, surrounds herself with people who love and live to make others laugh. In this long-awaited memoir, Thomas takes us on a funny and heartwarming adventure, from her Beverly Hills childhood, to her groundbreaking creation of "That Girl" and "Free to Be . . . You and Me," to her rise as one of America's most beloved actress-comediennes, to her marriage to talk-show king Phil Donahue. Her youth was star-studded--Milton Berle performed magic tricks (badly) at her backyard birthday parties. George Burns, Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Bob Newhart and other great comics passed countless hours gathered around her family's dinner table. And behind it all was the rich laughter nurtured by a close and loving family."Growing Up Laughing" is not just the story of an iconic entertainer, but also the story of comedy. In a voice that is curious, generous and often gleeful, Thomas not only opens the doors on the funny in her own life, but also explores the comic roots of today's most celebrated comedians, in personal interviews with: Alan Alda, Joy Behar, Stephen Colbert, Billy Crystal, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Griffin, Jay Leno, George Lopez, Elaine May, Conan O'Brien, Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, Ben and Jerry Stiller, Lily Tomlin, Robin Williams and Steven Wright., Born to comedy royalty, Marlo Thomas is one of the few people in show business to grow up surrounded by the greatest entertainers of her time. In a funny, honest and heart-warming memoir, she now shares stories of growing up as Danny Thomas' daughter and becoming a beloved comedian in her own right. In addition to her own reminiscences, Marlo includes her personal conversations and interviews with today's A-list comedians, including Chris Rock, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, Whoopi Goldberg, Joan Rivers and more.

    Item arrived as described was a little concerned with the cost of the packaging as I had ordered a different cup. It was actually much heavier, the cobalt blue one and the price for shipping was less. Otherwise, the item arrived as described and in a timely manner thank you

    Absolutely the best seller and fantastic to work with. This was as exactly as advertised. The communication was excellent and the packaging was extremely good for the item. This seller went over and above with what I purchased and the container that the medallion was in was excellent. I highly recommend this seller. I hope we can do business again in the future.
