"...the decided advantage of the audio book is that it is read by a cast of stars as long as your arm â?? thanks to Nevins' considerable achievements in television and production...This is choice listening for the car, as the stories are short and thus lend themselves to erranding and other short hops." Fran Wood, NJ.com
This program is read by the author and a full cast: Cynthia Adler, Alan Alda, Bob Balaban, Christine Baranski, Kathy Bates, Ellen Burstyn, Glenn Close, Katie Couric, John Henry Cox, Blythe Danner, Lena Dunham, Edie Falco, Tovah Feldshuh, Diane von Furstenberg, Whoopi Goldberg, Gayle King, Diane Lane, Sandra Lee, Judith Light, Jenna Lyons, Audra McDonald, Janet Mock, Sheila Nevins, Rosie O'Donnell, Jean Richards, RuPaul, Liz Smith, Lesley Stahl, Gloria Steinem, Martha Stewart, Meryl Streep, Marlo Thomas, Lily Tomlin, and Gloria Vanderbilt.
"Thank you to Sheila Nevins for putting all this down for posterity. Women need this kind of honest excavation of the process of living." â??Meryl Streep
An astonishingly frank, funny, poignant audiobook for any woman who wishes they had someone who would say to them, "This happened to me, learn from my mistakes and my successes. Because you don't get smarter as you get older, you get braver."
Sheila Nevins is the best friend you never knew you had. She is your discreet confidante you can tell any secret to, your sage mentor at work who helps you navigate the often uneven playing field, your wise sister who has "been there, done that," your hysterical girlfriend whose stories about men will make you laugh until you cry. Sheila Nevins is the one person who always tells it like it is.
In You Don't Look Your Age, the famed documentary producer (as President of HBO Documentary Films for over 30 years, Nevins has rightfully been credited with creating the documentary rebirth) finally steps out from behind the camera and takes her place front and center.
In this program you will hear about the real life challenges of being a woman in a man's world, what it means to be a working mother, what it's like to be an older woman in a youth-obsessed culture, the sometimes changing, often sweet truth about marriages, what being a feminist really means, and that you are in good company if your adult children don't return your phone calls.
So come, sit down, make yourself comfortable, and slip on those headphones. You're in for a treat.… (altro)
3.5 I highly recommend this as an audio book, because it is read in different celebrity voices: Rosie O'Donnell, Katie Couric, Martha Stewart, Glen Close, Alan Alda, Gloria Steinem and many more. It is a collection of essays/stories by Sheila Nevins and as she says, represents her effort to come out from behind the camera and to share some of her life, rather than chronicling others. Having a birthday that seemed to match the title is what led me to this book and I found it to be humorous and heartfelt, and certainly germane to women's issues, but not fully embraceable. Yet. Maybe after a few more significant birthdays....... ( )
I listened to the audio of this and I am certain it had to add to the immense enjoyment. An all star cast of amazing narrators: Glenn Close, Ru Paul, Ellen Burstyn, just to name a few. I laughed, and balked and cried. It was really a great listen and several stories were so relevant to today's headlines I was surprised to see it hadn't just been published yesterday. ( )
A collection of short stories, essays, and poetry written by a woman looking back over her life with the value of hindsight. An interesting way to present a memoir and pass on lessons learnt. ( )
