4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book told in the inimitable Miller style, April 12, 2004

Ann Miller, one of the most underappreciated stars of the Golden age, tells all in this book. Focusing on her childhood and her personal life, she recounts memories with a disarming cheeky style that became her trademark. While more information about her work would have been nice, it's great to have Miller by Miller since no other real biography exists. We hear a lot about boyfriends, her fascination with spirituality, and her work as a goodwill ambassador.

Bottom Line: An excellent book by Miller, told in her trademark cheeky style. While short on professional details, it's great for private ones and shouldn't be missed by any Miller fan. (great pics, too!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, October 2, 2007

This review is from: Miller's high life (Hardcover)

This is a highly readable autobiography in which Miller's adorable personality really comes through. You feel as if you are sitting in her living room listening to her talk to you personally, telling wonderful stories of her days in Hollywood. Wish there had been more about the making of her various films, but it is still a satisfying read that leaves you believing that you have truly gotten to know her better. Based on this book, I think I would have really liked her. And what an underappreciated talent she was! Just go back and watch some of her old films. They don't make em like that anymore.

I loved this book. I saw Ann Miller in Sugar Babies when I was 19 years old in New York, and again later at the Dallas Music Hall. I knew when I was watching her that she was somebody very special. Her tap dancing technique is beyond compare. Her book makes me feel like she's talking to me. I wish she would have written another memoir about her life after 1972. If somebody does, I will buy it for sure. She made it by talent and hard work just likes she states in the book.
