MAKE 'EM LAUGH Short-Term Memories of Longtime Friends

In the latest in a recent series of entertainers' memoirs and career celebrations, Debbie Reynolds is at her most informal and funniest as she takes an enthusiastic look at the industry's great and near-great. Actress Judith Ivey is dead-on narrating Reynolds. Ivey also does Reynolds impersonating Barbra Streisand as well as Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor, all of which is pure fun. Anecdotes, chats, and reminiscences abound, deftly written both for the earbuds and the page. Especially touching are reflections on the second-string character actors Reynolds knew and respected, such as Max Showalter. This is a delightful romp. Don't miss the experience.
