4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent look at Rosie's past
Those wanting to know a lot about Rosie O'Donnell's earlier work,especially her movies, will enjoy reading this look at her life. Parish has done a fairly complete look at her past, although it is lacking on some of the more recent work like her show, and her online activites. The writing is excellent, and was an easy read, but the author seems to use exclamation...

Nothing I didn't already know
If you watch her show then this book is waste of time and money. Mostly the book focuses on Rosie's experience of losing her mother, her rocky road to stardom and her hush hush love life. Just by tuning into her show, and seeing/reading a few of her interviews, anybody could write this biography of Rosie with great ease. If you are looking for the juicy tabloid stuff,...

An excellent look at Rosie's past,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rosie: Rosie O'Donnell's Biography (Hardcover)
Those wanting to know a lot about Rosie O'Donnell's earlier work,especially her movies, will enjoy reading this look at her life. Parish has done a fairly complete look at her past, although it is lacking on some of the more recent work like her show, and her online activites. The writing is excellent, and was an easy read, but the author seems to use exclamation marks a few too many times for my taste... The book also lacks colour photographs of Rosie, but has an excellent picture of Rosie (from 1994 Academy Awards) on the cover. Fans of Rosie (like myself) who want to gain a better understanding of the context around which the "Queen of Nice" has become the multi-media phenomenon that she is should definitely pick up a copy of this book. I loved it!

"Her fans will buy and enjoy this book" - Publishers' Weekly,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rosie: Rosie O'Donnell's Biography (Hardcover)
In this unauthorized bio, seasoned Hollywood journalist and author James Robert Parish (The Liza Minelli Story etc.) has reserched O'Donnell's climb to fame drawing on print and TV interviews, critical reviews and press releases, as well as interviews with her colleagues. O'Donnell's comic career, feature films and Broadway show are well detailed here and her story is an inspiring one.
Until O'Donnell writes her autobiography this bio may be the most thorough we'll get.

Just by tuning into her show, and seeing/reading a few of her interviews, anybody could write this biography of Rosie with great ease. If you are looking for the juicy tabloid stuff, this book isn't for you. If you enjoy endless jiberish about Tom Cruise, I believe there are a few chapters devoted to this tired old topic. Happy reading
