In terms of autobiographies that I really liked are: Born Standing Up (Steve Martin) , Still Foolin' 'Em (Billy Crystal), Greenlights (Matthew McConaughey) and A Life In Parts (Bryan Cranston). At the moment I am listening to The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide by Jenna Fischer which has been interesting so far.
@@heidistevenson204 Yeah they're worth the time if you like the actor's personality. I finished Cranston's book on Sunday and just found myself getting completely lost in the storytelling of it for the most part. Where I was either disappeared or was a backdrop to certain sections of that book. The only draw back was the abrupt ending. A part from that fantastic. The problem for me with Jenna's book is that she says that you have to move to either NY or LA or Boston, which really isn't an option for me living in Melbourne. But the realistic way that she describes being a struggling artist in the late 90's and what her live is like is very illuminating. Especially her day to day and what she regrets not doing sooner. So far the Molly Shannon story is an important anecdote and Jenna's process of getting headshots.
@@drewevans3054 Yeah that's so interesting. I think it's so good to hear other people's stories and journeys. Can't wait to read her book! Well hopefully with more funding in Australia, the story will change and Melbourne will be the place to be. But it does look like being in the US is inevitable.

Those all sound great! I've been wanting to read Jenna Fischer's book too! It sounds really good.
