I took out of the library Lone Star, a novel by Barbara Barrie. She played Barney Miller's wife and also Brooke Shields' grandma on Suddenly Susan. This got me thinking - which other primetime actors have had novels published? Fiction - not biographies or joke books like Seinfeld or Cosby - to be exact.

he's also written some "Star Trek" books. And back in the 70s (I think 1976) Leanord Nimoy wrote a book called "I AM NOT SPOCK" which told about all the other roles he's played over the years in movies, TV, and theater. Then sometime in the 80s he wrote a sequel to it called "I AM SPOCK". Also William Shatner also wrote a novel called "STAR TREK MEMORIES" and another one called "STAR TREK MOVIE MEMORIES".


And Paul Reiser of "Mad About You" wrote a novel called PARENTHOOD or something.

David Cassidy wrote a book called C'mon Get Happy, about his Partridge Family Days. He may have had a co-author to help him.

Is that true? I didn't know Barbara Barrie writes books. I thought she just lives for TV shows.
