There Are Worse Things I Could Do

By: Adrienne Barbeau

Narrated by: Adrienne Barbeau

Adrienne Barbeau never set out to be a sex symbol, and she never planned on giving birth to twins when she was 51, but both those stories and a lot more are detailed in this witty, revealing memoir.

From her early years as one of the first Go-Go girls in New York ("No one said Mafia out loud in those days. There was always the fear you wouldn't live to say anything else.") to starring on Broadway in Grease ("Alexander Cohen swore the only way we'd win a Tony was over his dead body.") Adrienne tells tales. You'll hear about her two hit television series (Maude and Carnivale), her many television and feature films (The Fog, Escape From New York, Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, Creepshow), and her singing career ("Doc Severinson and the band had been in the audience during my nude forway off-Broadway in Stage Movie.")

With humor and fearlessness, she shares her romance with a superstar, her marriage to a famous film director, her marriage to a much younger man, and her successful battle with infertility.

Adrienne Barbeau; What's not to love.

Love everything about it, author, voice talent, everything. Now I listen to her other voice overs.

What a life!

Loved this book, well written!
The story of actress Adrienne Barbeau career and life is full of ups and downs. I had a lot of fun listening to it! She’s a talented lady.

Excellent book

I loved this book. You get your money's worth because it's full length. The author, Adrienne Barbeau reads it beautifully. She tells some interesting stories, from her growing up years to working on Maude and more. I think you will like it!

held my attention

it really wakes you up that a movie star is a normal person! I really felt sorry for her at times too.

Ok, not great but OK.

I liked this book but I did not love it. Reason being, it's not really a book, it's more like snippets of her life with no real detail to any of the stories. For instants, She meets, marries and divorces John Carpenter in one short chapter. She talks about 6 season of doing Maude in three to four pages. Its more of a cliff notes of her life than a real autobiography. So I can't really recommend it but I had some fun listening to her tell her "short" stories.
