Summary:
"A heartwarming and funny memoir from a beloved actress, Lilyville tells the story of a mother and daughter whose narrative reflects that of American women in the 20th and 21st centuries, and mirrors American cultural changes and the world's shifting expectations of women"-- Provided by publisher.
Feldshuh has always played powerful women who aren't afraid to sit at the table with the big boys and rule their world. But offstage, she struggled to fulfill the one role she never auditioned for: Lily Feldshuh's only daughter. Here Feldshuh shares the highs and lows of a career that has spanned five decades, and shares the lessons she has learned about how to live in the spotlight, strive for excellence, and still get along with your mother. -- adapted from jacket
