Jane Lynch's memoir is a simple, straightforward account of her childhood and her struggles with alcohol, her sexuality and her profession.
By Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times Television Critic
Way back in the mists of time, when Lea Michele was a name known only to theater geeks and "Don't Stop Believin'" still belonged to "The Sopranos," the thing that excited most critics, and many fans, about this new show "Glee" was not so much jazz hands as Jane. Jane Lynch, the inevitably hilarious performer whose appearances on shows as diverse as "Two and a Half Men" and "The L Word," in the films of Christopher Guest and Judd Apatow, were always stellar if all too brief. Finally, she had landed a steady gig on a big show — the whole musical thing might not work, the young unknowns might turn out to be duds, but at least this crazy new show had Jane Lynch.
