Tickled Pink - Tapa blanda

A wonderfully funny book with a great story that says everything that ever needed to be said about show busines s' Emma Thompson ('On stage, Rita Rudner is funny, sharp and clever. On the page, she is funny, sharp, clever and poignant')

Steve Martin ('Once again, Rita Rudner proves there is intelligent life in entertainment, thank goodness!')

Whoopi Goldberg ('TICKLED PINK is really three books in one. The first is the one you laugh at, the second is the one you laugh at all over again, only crying this time because it's even funnier the second time around, and the third is the one that makes the person sittin)

Hugh Laurie ('Clever and witty.')

Summer 1980 - Ronald Reagan is running for president, Elizabeth Taylor is in rehab and Sting has hair. Nobody is on the Internet, the ozone is thicker and the Spice Girls are not yet toilet trained. And gauche seventeen-year-old dancer Mindy Solomon is leaving Florida for New York, her goal to make it big. Mindy gets her break in the Broadway musical 'Springtime'. And then she gets another, when the two men who are meant to catch her cannot take their eyes off each other. Meanwhile Mindy's best friend Ursula, her modelling career not taking off, finds herself resorting to doing commercials produced by dodgy Casanovas old enough to be your father. Dodgy Casanovas who ARE your father...Then Mindy decides to try her luck at stand-up. It's not the greatest beginning ('Does anybody out there know any jokes?'), but before long the 1980s are hers: a rollercoaster of a ride of laughs, Letterman and love...Why, you'll be tickled pink.
