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.
Excellent book told in the inimitable Miller style

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!)
