I'm a huge fan of ice skating, particularly pairs and this book was about Olympic Russian pairs team Katia Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov. The best pairs team. In. The. World. back in the early 80's. Her husband was only 28 yrs old when he died on the ice during skating practice from an undetected heart condition.<br /><br />When the news broke, I cried. It was just so sad. They really connected with each other on the ice. You could tell that they loved each other and they loved to skate. They were amazing to watch and to have such a young life cut short like that...Celisehttp://www.celisedowns.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-59742589716860409352009-08-17T13:40:32.392-07:002009-08-17T13:40:32.392-07:00Cara, the Star Trek cast!

And I really like when celeb autobiographies have overlaps, because with the multiple POV's, it's like being there, huh? <br /><br />BookChic, I agree that Carrie Fisher's could have been a lot longer. And I'm taking notes on your other recommendations!TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-65118844641287068442009-08-17T13:25:11.730-07:002009-08-17T13:25:11.730-07:00Hi,

I usually tend to love reading autobiographies from comedians rather than just anybody. Rue McClanahan's was really good as was Barbara Walters' (listened to that one on audio). I also really want to read ones from Julie Andrews, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Cloris Leachman.BookChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641362399541764523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-87531356998422968892009-08-17T09:58:30.834-07:002009-08-17T09:58:30.834-07:00I've actually never read a celebrity autobiogr...I've actually never read a celebrity autobiography.
