Klappentext "With her signature sense of humor and down-to-earth storytelling, Lauren Graham opens up about her years working in the entertainment business--from the sublime to the ridiculous--and shares personal stories about everything from family and friendship to the challenges of aging gracefully in Hollywood"-- Leseprobe Ne Oublie I'm certain I graduated from college, but I haven't seen my diploma in over twenty years. I can't find the parking ticket I got yesterday. It's probably sitting in the same drawer alongside the one I can't find from last week. At age 14, I remember holding my social security card for approximately five minutes before I misplaced it and never saw it again. Last week, I found a watch I thought I'd lost months ago inside of a shoe. Perhaps that's why I'm pretty good at memorizing lines of dialogue and people's phone numbersI can't be counted on to save the paper I wrote them on, and even if I put the info into my phone, it might take me a while to remember where I left it. I lose my phone, my wallet, and my keys multiple times a day. Sometimes, I'll go into the kitchen to find that book I've been reading and two hours later I have organized the silverware drawer but have zero recollection of what I came into the kitchen for. One fish goes this way, the other fish goes that way, is how a friend once described these absentminded tendencies. I am a Pisces, after all. Possibly, I got it from my dad. Growing up, I didn't own a set of house keys. He probably lost his own set too many times before he gave up and decided it was easier just to leave the front door open (please don't break into my dad's house). As a teen, I was taught to leave car keys in the ignition, because how else was anyone supposed to find them? (Please don't steal my dad's car.) To this day, my father is well known for driving away with a coffee mug still on the roof of his car, and even though everyone in the family has bought him countless pairs of nicer sunglasses, the only ones he seems unable to lose are the neon-green mirrored ones intended for road biking. But what my dad has lost in sets of keys, he's made up for with his ability to paint vivid pictures of the past. As a keeper of the objects and details of the present, his record may be spotty, but as a minder of memories, he excels. My father is an excellent storyteller with a tight repertoire. If his stories were songs, he wouldn't have a ton of deep cuts, but he could fill an entire album of Greatest Hits. As a kid, I lived for the rotation of stories from his own childhood: the time he got separated from his mom in the grocery store and a neighbor found him and brought him home; the day his family became the first on the block to own a television; racing on the beaches of Long Island with his collie, King. Then there was an entire spinoff series about Dad and his childhood friend Georgie. Dad and Georgie taking the train to Coney Island to ride the Ferris wheel; Dad and Georgie dressing in trench coats and fedoras for their secret club in which they pretended to be Al Capone's henchmen; Dad and Georgie going to the soda shop, where they'd sit at the counter after football prac...
