I remember reading the book when it came out and absolutely loved it. It was funny, sad, inspiring, heartbreaking...everything.

There were some true laugh out loud stories in there.

I think one of my favorites was for the wrap party for Bye Bye Birdie. She talks about the party and how all the men are swarming around Ann-Margret and Maureen walks over, grabs her by the arm and says "Why don't you come with me dear? Apparently I'm the only one here not trying to f*** you!" and got her away from them all.

First time I saw her in anything was when Birdie was the Easter Show at Radio City. I was about 6 at the time and didn't know who she was. It was years and years later when I was well aware of her I saw her name on the Birdie soundtrack album (or was it the piano vocal score?) and couldn't believe she was Albert's mother and did know it.
