Synopsis
A hilarious romp from small-town USA to the pink carpet of Hollywood with the beloved Emmy-winning actor, playwright, and gay icon Leslie Jordan is a small man with a giant propensity for scene stealing. Best known for his bravura recurring role as Karen's nemesis, Beverley Leslie, on "Will & Grace" (for which he won a Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy in 2006), he has also made memorable appearances on "Ally McBeal, Boston Public, Monk," and "Murphy Brown," Raised in a conservative family in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Leslie -- who describes himself as "the gayest man I know" -- boarded a Greyhound bus bound for LA with $1,200 sewn into his underpants and never looked back. His pocket-sized physique and inescapable talent for high camp paved the way to a lucrative and varied career in commercials and on television. Along the way he immersed himself in writing for the stage, and his one-man testimonials have become cult off-Broadway hits. But with success came dangerous temptations: a self-proclaimed former substance abuser and sexaholic, Leslie has spent time in jail and struggled to overcome his addictionsand self-loathing. "My Trip Down the Pink Carpet" is a rollicking, fast-paced collection of stories, served up with wit, panache, and plenty of biting asides. Filled with comically overwrought childhood agonies, offbeat observations, and revealing celebrity encounters -- from Boy George to George Clooney -- it delivers a fresh, laugh-out-loud take on Hollywood, fame, addiction, gay culture, and learning to love oneself., Jordan, the beloved Emmy-winning actor, playwright, and gay icon, offers this rollicking caper filled with comically overwrought childhood agonies, revealing celebrity encounters, and offbeat Hollywood observations., A hilarious romp from small-town USA to the pink carpet of Hollywood with the beloved Emmy-winning actor, playwright, and gay icon Leslie Jordan is a small man with a giant propensity for scene stealing.

- k***l (232)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGREAT TRANSACTION! A lovely book at a fantastic price, in extremely good condition, as described. Shipping was fast and very reasonable, and packing was top-level: a protective film, bubble wrap, peanuts, and a box! This seller really cares about protecting your purchase in transit. My only nitpick is that the gilding on the spine is a noticeably paler gold than on the front and back covers. It's a small thing which wasn't evident in photos, but would have been nice to know. A beauty nonetheless
