Critics Review
“Valerie Harper, my beloved friend, is just as enjoyable on the printed page as she is on the screen. This is a delightful read. Enjoy.” – Betty White“I, Rosie, loved I, RHODA, Valerie Harper’s wonderful new book full of heart and Hollywood, friends and family. I have loved Val since I first saw her standing on Mary’s balcony. Her amazing career and her beautiful life are woven together with grace and wit.” – Rosie O’Donnell“Valerie is brilliant, frigging talented, funny as hell, warm, generous…and her book is a HIT! Detailed, delightful, and delicious—I’ve found myself starting to read it again!“ – Cloris Leachman“I am a law-abiding, God-fearing Orthodox Jewish boy, and Valerie Harper is a wanton, out of control, nihilist who I’m sure never thought of God unless his name was on a contract. I thought I knew this wastrel of an actress, but it turns out I didn’t know a thing about her! A regular Jo, she worked her ass off to develop every aspect of her great talent, be it as a twinkle-toed tapper or a fantastic comedic actress with equal dramatic chops. Valerie is a pisser and you gotta read her book!” – Ed Asner“Valerie writes in a straight-forward style that is honest and funny and true. I know because I was there during the Rhoda years. It was great fun to relive the moments I was honored and lucky enough to be a part of. I also got to learn things about Valerie I never knew. What a marvelous life and what a wonderful read.” – Julie Kavner
