I heard Sally speak at Powell's on Nov 16 about her book, and how it was a search for a true relationship with her mother, wanting her mother to really see her and what was happening in her childhood family. I read the book in about 3 days, It was funny in places, and sad in others as she navigated her career, and family, and trying to be the person everyone else wanted her to be, until she found herself, and began to listen to herself as she overcame obstacles to be taken seriously as an actress. Very inspiring in that regard. She didn't seem to spare herself or question her own role in some of the hard places she found herself. I grew up with Sally on her early TV roles and came to admire her as an actress in movies like Norma Rae, Steel Magnolias and Places in the Heart, and could remember the eras she was talking about, and could see in my mind's eye how it was then in the lates 60s, 70s and 80s.
