• Alley, Kirstie

If anyone in Hollywood knows about weight obsession, it's Kirstie Alley. After she rose to fame on Cheers as the svelte and gorgeous Rebecca Howe, she watched as the tabloids mercilessly chartered her fluctuating weight. Well, look out, Hollywood, because this beloved star is ready to strike back--with a starring role in a new, unscripted comedy series on Showtime calle Fat Actress. She plays a fictionalized version of herself as she searches for work and love in the land of glitter and glamour. The show, which prompted a huge media buzz when Showtime announced plans for it, premieres just as this witty and wry new book hits bookstores across the nation.

Alley's accounting gives readers an intimate look into her life while providing a hilarious view of being overweight in a skinny-obsessed world. Whether readers are struggling with weight or personal integrity--or if they're just looking for love and happiness--they'll identify with Alley's experiences. She tells it like it is and helps us laugh at ourselves (and others.)
