Spreng, Patrick; Spreng, Partick Everything Rosie: The Ultimate Guide for Rosie O'Donnell Fans Birch Lane Press 1998 1559724528 / 9781559724524 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine Price inside dustcover: $19.95 - You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that The Rosie O'Donnell Show is the biggest thing to hit daytime TV since Barney, and it's not surprising that articles and books about her proliferate. These latest works chronicle the facts of O'Donnell's life and career in very different ways. Rosie is a straight telling of O'Donnell's life. O'Donnell's mother, who instilled in her a passion for theater, died young, leaving behind a devastated family. Faced with an emotionally unavailable father, O'Donnell turned to TV family sitcoms for comfort. Her love of performing led her to stand-up comedy, Starsearch, the TV show Gimme a Break, and a DJ spot on VH-1. Movie roles followed (e.g., A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle). The rest is television history. Everything Rosie also gives the facts of O'Donnell's life but serves more as a compendium. This full-color picture book includes lists of her films, interviews, examples of her stand-up routine, and the lyrics of her parodies. Price:
