Summary:
"From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous
line in Moonstruck, "I know who I am," to her lauded role as Mrs.
Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in Tales of the City,
to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis,
Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience.
Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her
ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art,
she is a role model to women of all ages.".
"Olympia Dukakis's award-winning role in Moonstruck made her a
household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight
years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral
part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey,
while she and her husband raised their three children. She managed to
"have it all" - career, family, home - before having it all became
fashionable. She also managed to care for her aging mother, who
developed Alzheimer's and moved into the family home, completing
Olympia's three-generation family." "In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this
internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to
assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation
from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles
with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the
efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve
excellence in her professional calling."--BOOK JACKET.
