Download Not Young, Still Restless: A Memoir AudioBook Free
The long-awaited memoir in one of daytime television's most celebrated and beloved actresses. Three or four days a week, Jeanne Cooper drives from her Hollywood Hills home to the job she's placed for more than three decades: delivering life to the character of Katherine Chancellor, the outspoken, powerful, and insanely prosperous force of characteristics who, along with Jeanne herself, has become a legend in the wonderful world of daytime television and its own number-one show, The Young and the Restless. Now, for the first time, her fans are certain to get to know the girl behind the iconic character. With her signature fearlessness, honesty, and humor, Jeanne chronicles her long tenure in Hollywood and represents her life before, during, and from the CBS soundstage. Not Young, Still Restless practices Jeanne as she makes her way from small-town Taft, California, to the center of the LA movie industry, where the set of her feature-film costars reads such as a who's who of Hollywood's golden years - Maureen O'Hara, Raymond Burr, David Janssen, Robert Taylor, Tony Curtis, Shelley Winters, Glenn Ford, and Lee J. Cobb, to name just a few. Jeanne creates vividly of her first foray into the new happening of television and exactly how she found her home at The Young and the Restless. Jeanne's story charts the fluctuations of an extended and rich life, like the breakup of any relationship that produced the three great loves of her life - her daughter, Caren, and her sons Collin and the professional Corbin Bernsen - before it concluded, leaving her a single working mom. She also speaks actually and openly about her battles to get over alcoholism, defeat breast cancer, and years gracefully in Hollywood, an activity that made her the first reality-television superstar when her character's (and her own) face-lift was filmed live on The Young and the Restless. In Not Young, Still Restless, the Emmy Award-winning celebrity inspires readers with her capability not only to survive but thrive as an octogenarian in the current Hollywood.
