"Bossypants" Tina Fey

Posted Tuesday 03 May 2011

30 Rock creator/star, Tina Fey, is a smart, funny and professional woman in front and behind the camera - her book proves it is so, according to the reviews. Though none of us here in the WIFT office have been privy to a copy yet, we'll take the LA Times' word for it:

"But any concern that Fey, like so many before her, has been ruined by fame is quickly dispelled by "Bossypants," a book that reminds you why Fey has succeeded where so many have failed - because she is precise, professional and hilarious. At first, "Bossypants" appears to be just more of the same - there's Fey on the cover looking fabulous but not owning it (her airbrushed face is framed by two large and hairy male arms) and the back is filled with fake and self-deprecating quotes regarding her appearance and talent. Pay them no mind; inside lies a collection of autobiographical essays that should (but of course won't) prove once and for all that pretty is nowhere near as important as funny, and funny doesn't work without that rare balance of truth and heart."
