Williams, aka Shirley Feeney of the popular TV show Laverne & Shirley—which drew audiences of as many as 60 million viewers—is as warm and funny on the page as she’s been on both the large and small screen. In her lively memoir, the actress and producer looks back to her blue-collar upbringing, her jobs waiting tables, and her break into the big time with American Graffiti, her sixth film—and she has great stories about the stars she’s known, who range from Jim Morrison to Lucille Ball to her good friend, Penny Marshall.
