Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "The creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder reveals how saying Yes changed her life -- and how it can change yours too. She<U+2019>s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today, so who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances. That she hugged walls at splashy parties and suffered panic attacks before media interviews. Shonda Rhimes was an expert at declining invitations. Shonda's introvert life revolved around burying herself in work, snuggling her children, and comforting herself with food. And then, on Thanksgiving 2013, she decided to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say Yes to everything that scared her. This memoir explores Shonda's life before -- her nerdy, book-loving childhood creating imaginary friends. And it chronicles her life after her Year of Yes had begun -- when she forced herself out of the house and onto the stage, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and giving the Dartmouth Commencement speech; when she learned to say yes to her health, yes to play and she stepped out of the shadows and into the sun; when she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self. And you can, too. Shonda Rhimes is the executive producer and creator of the ABC television series Grey's Anatomy, and Scandal. She created the spinoff series Private Practice, and she is the executive producer of the ABC series How to Get Away with Murder. Shonda Rhimes studied screenwriting at the University of Southern California. ShondaLand is the name of her production company"--Provided by publisher.

2016., General, Grand Central Publishing Call No: Bio K64y Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity.

These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man," attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" ("Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds"). Jessi Klein is head writer and an executive producer of Comedy Central's TV series Inside Amy Schumer. Her story "Tired, From New York" can be heard on The Moth radio hour at themoth.org/storytellers/jessi-klein. She can also be seen in her own half-hour Comedy Central stand-up special.
