I finished reading this book last night. It was obvious from reading this book how very deeply George Burns loved Gracie. I had a very hard time keeping a dry eye while reading this book. I was either moved to tears by the relationship I was reading about and the depth of love it was being talked about with or was laughing at Mr. Burns jokes so hard I was crying. This book was also a great history lesson about show business as George chronicles his and Gracie's journey through vaudeville, radio, the movies, and finally television. This book was a great read!

What was the name of Susan Olsen Book

Loni Anderson, "My Life In High Heels", Published 1995.


Rue McClanahan, "My First Five Husbands... and the one that got away....", Published 2007.

Suzanne Somers has written numerous books...

Candace Bergin wrote an auto-biography about her life before she became a sitcom star on "Murphy Brown" it was called "Knock Wood".

Now I did not know that Suzanne Sommers wrote a book.

Dick York's memoirs (entitled The Seesaw Girl & Me) were published in 2004, 12 years after his death. Of course, he was the iconic Darrin #1 on Bewitched. :cool: :D

Lisa Whelchel (Blair, Facts of Life) has also published several books. Bob Newhart wrote his memoirs, entitled I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This, a couple of years ago.

Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner on "Full House") just came out with a book unSweetined.

She's not a sitcom star, but Melissa Gilbert wrote her own book,
Prairie Tale

That was an interesting read. Melissa Gilbert DID star on a short-lived sitcom back in the late 80s/early 90s called Stand By Your Man, and Rosie O'Donnell played her sister. So I guess she could be counted as a sitcom star in this case.

Also, both Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli of One Day at a Time have written books. So has Willie Aames (Charles in Charge; Eight is Enough).

I hear it's not a fan favorite but I guess it should be mentioned... Dustin Diamond's book Behind the Bell.

Here's another book written by a sitcom star that is a great read. It's written by Marcia Wallace (The Bob Newhart Show; The Simpsons) and is called Don't Look Back, We're Not Going That Way.

Susan Olson wrote a book.

Yep, it's called "Love To Love You Bradys" (or something similar) about the Brady Bunch Hour. In fact I hope to get this book; it looks like good reading!

Jerry Mathers wrote "And Jerry Mathers As The Beaver". However, it was co-written by Herb Fagen (whoever that is!).

It is indeed a very good book. Susan co-wrote it with Ted Nichelson and Lisa Sutton, who really did their homework - this book is chock full of great behind the scenes stories, info on the guest stars, and of course, the legend of Geri Reischl. :D

Jerry Mathers wrote "And Jerry Mathers As The Beaver". However, it was co-written by Herb Fagen (whoever that is!).
I didn't know he'd written a book...but his co-star Frank Bank did (that one is named Call Me Lumpy).

I'm waiting and hoping for Tony Dow to write a book!

I did not know Jim Backus had written a book. What is the title?

"Backus Strikes Back"

Dawn Wells:

From Father Knows Best - Both of the TV daughters, Elinor Donahue and Lauren Chapin, have written books.

From The Mary Tyler Moore Show - Mary Tyler Moore, Gavin MacLeod, and Cloris Leachman have also written books.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Patricia Heaton. She wrote a book called "Hollywood and Motherhood." It was a great book.

I have read Larry Hagman's book called "Hello Darlin' (The True and Not So True Tales of My Life)" and it was really good.

Alison Sweeney wrote a book "The Days of My Life (So Far)". I have read it and it's a very good book as well.

Macdonald Carey also wrote a book "The Days of My Life". I haven't read it yet.
