The Amazing Ali Wentworth!!

So, who is exactly this amazing Ali Wentworth? 

First and foremost she's a hilarious, pee in your pants comedian! You may recognize her from In Living Color or if you've watched a little show called Seinfeld it was Ali who played Schmoopie & Jerry's girlfriend in the infamous Soup Nazi episode! Second, she is also married to the incredible George Stephanopoulos....yeah kind of a crazy match, but they're so perfect together and raising two girls! 

This book Ali in Wonderland has it all! Comedy, heartbreak, romance, yada yada yada! Ali takes us through her life from beginning to the present! She takes serious incidents (like being mugged) and turns them into comedy! She grew up in the WASP high society world and instead of remaining she branched out to do and be what and who she wanted! Leaving the DC elites behind she went to California and struggled, but she came out stronger in spirit! After many ups and downs her and George were setup on a blind date and hilarity ensued! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh! 

Even if you don't know Ali from Eve right now, you will get to know her in this book and then you'll love her!!

A Streetcar Named Desire

Ok so I admit that I have not seen really anything in which Marlon Brando starred (well except bits and pieces of The Godfather) but his life story has intrigued me immensely! 

He kept his private life as private as possible and never wanted to be in the Hollywood circles. Brando kept to himself and refused interviews, but one night Truman Capote tricked him into getting all of the private scoop! Brando was horrified by what was being printed about his private life and especially the shenanigans that he confessed had happened behind closed doors to Capote! In all, Brando has had many things written over the years about who he was or wasn't behind those closed doors! He fathered some 15 (give or take a few) children over his lifetime! Anyway, more about his life later! 

A Streetcar Named Desire..it began his screen career & I've so longed to see it! Finally DVRd, I'll hear STELLA & review it after! 📽📺 Lights, Camera, Action!
