Publisher Description
Quinn Cummings is an American actress, author, and entrepreneur best known for her role in the classic romance, THE GOODBYE GIRL, for which, at the age of nine, she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Since then, Quinn has made a name for herself as a writer, humorist, and deliciously irreverent raconteur (AKA “Court Jester”) while delivering heartfelt, keenly observed and occasionally pointed chronicles about the nuanced joys of parenting, the complexities of personal identity, the pressure of expectations, and the ongoing mystery of how to survive our modern age with a shred of dignity, a hint of compassion, or a glimmer of hope. As always, she does this with a sharp eye for the absurd, the offbeat and the outrageously funny. Sometimes, she even writes about being a Former Child Actor.
Not often, though.
In this updated edition of Quinn’s smart and hilarious debut, NOTES FROM THE UNDERWIRE, she tackles the domestic, the cultural and the delightfully ridiculous. From fending off a catnip-addled cat to having mortal combat with a sewing machine; from scheduling Steve the Rat Guy to acquiring a human heart; from wrestling tree raccoons and wrestling orthodontic appliances, Quinn provides insight into her often chaotic, seldom perfect universe – a universe made even less perfect when the mischievous smile of past celebrity shows its occasional fang. The book, like the author herself, is good-hearted, self-deprecating, and blisteringly funny. In other words, it's the friend who makes you laugh out loud and gets you to the airport in time.
