Put the two books together and they'd make a first class TV four-parter, more fascinating than most of the fiction churned out. You don't have to be a fan to find this a remarkable story. The final part is a job-by-job CV, in the form of brief descriptions of her film/tv work and anecdotes which make it equally readable. Giving too much away? I think not when you read the details of how again, she battled through. A3, Harve Presnell And Debbie Reynolds, Ill Never Say No, 4:16. A2, Debbie Reynolds, I Aint Down Yet, 3:51.

A1, MGM Studio Orchestra, Overture, 3:37. In fact the first 180 pages take over from her previous autobiography, Debbie, which I still have - and I read them in one sitting, as it's a REAL PAGE-TURNER, with only the odd reference to her earlier life, in order to put the later events in context.

He gets pulled out by some fishermen, who deliver him to Dr. We start out with some random guy dumped in the Mediterranean Sea. So this summary is going to try to just hit the biggest of the big points, ignoring the chandelier-jumping and getting the dog to the door as efficiently as possible. The ultimate goal (whether "good dog slobbers on owner!" or "good guy wins!") isn't really all that complicated, but the path to get there can be. The Bourne Identity is a little like a hyper-excited dog who races spastically to the kitchen and over to the bed and back to the bathroom and then up on the table and onto the chandelier before leaping up on her owner who just walked in the door.
