Amazon.com Review
James Robert Parish delivers the first ever biography of Rosie O'Donnell in the matter of fact tone of a seasoned entertainment journalist. Rosie O'Donnell's Biography is a comprehensive story of this dynamic woman's life on both the public and private fronts. Parish digs deep to provide background on Rosie's tragic early years when, as a young child, she lost her mother to the triumphant adoption of her son in 1995. He follows her career too as it developed from the comedy clubs and into television appearances that paved the way to Rosie's success in films and her own wildly successful TV talk show. Throughout the book, Parish skillfully reveals the humanity of this complex star. He dedicates the biography to its subject, "New Queen of All Things." And after reading the book, it is clear the term is nearly apt, for O'Donnell clearly is queen of many things: acting, comedy, parenting, friendship and honesty.
