Happy Accidents
by Jane Lynch, Lisa Dickey
by Jane Lynch, Lisa Dickey
Another memoir in my quest to live vicariously through others. This was a great look at Lynch growing up knowing to her very core that she was going to be a star and how she navigated her way and did it. There’s a lot of interesting things about her improv work and I was really interested in the terrifying exhilaration of working on a Christopher Guest creation. She talks about how she realized her drinking was becoming a problem and even if she didn’t have some fantastic rock bottom story, it was time to let it go.
She developed an incredibly mean streak for herself and had a long running, critical, judgemental voice running over and over through her mind. In her early thirties she was finally able to embrace her sexuality, come out to her parents, stop drinking, and tackle that inner Sue Sylvester.
She comes across as very honest and open in this book and it’s awesome to see her success, not only with acting but with her wife and wife’s daughter. It’s awesome when there are happy accidents.
