Brassy bit of aging crumpet

Walsh, Mary, 1952-


"In this disarmingly vulnerable and wickedly hilarious collection of essays, Mary Walsh chronicles her colourful?sometimes difficult, never boring?life, coming to the hopeful conclusion that growing old means finally finding (and loving) yourself. In this sharply observed and wryly funny collection of essays on identity, family, and belonging, Mary Walsh takes readers on a rollicking?and sometimes difficult, but never boring?journey through her life. Her subjects range from the heartbreak of growing up next door to her family, to Newfoundland?s vibrant and not altogether happy entry into the Canadian confederation, to the behind-the-scenes of her wildly popular CBC shows, including This Hour Has 22 Minutes, to her complicated relationship with her complicated mother, and to her struggles with alcohol, self-doubt, and what it means to connect with those around her. The result is a collection of essays that are deftly comical, vividly rendered, heartachingly vulnerable and, above all, hopeful. In the end, Mary learns the trials and hurdles (some self-inflicted) that she endured in her younger years only make the process of aging all the sweeter. The message she now has is a powerful one: her older years are her best ones yet, because she?s finally learned to accept who she is."--From publisher.

We did ok, kid : a memoir

Hopkins, Anthony, 1937-,


In his powerful memoir We Did OK, Kid, Sir Anthony Hopkins reflects on his extraordinary life and career with honesty and heart. Growing up in a tough Welsh steel town, he struggled in school and was told he'd never succeed--until seeing Hamlet sparked a lifelong passion for acting. Hopkins recounts his journey from those humble beginnings to becoming one of the world's most celebrated actors, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his iconic roles and encounters with legends like Laurence Olivier and Richard Burton. He also opens up about his battles with alcoholism, his path to sobriety, and the emotional struggles that shaped him. Filled with personal photos and deep insight, this memoir is a candid portrait of resilience, creativity, and redemption.
