I asked Maureen to apply the " page 69 test" to her book. (When was the last time you saw forty-five apple pie commercials during a baseball game?) Yet I only had to skim Ambitious Brew's reviews and synopsis to realize I had no clue what the real story was.

She has had her own romantic disasters, a marriage to singer Paul Simon that lasted only 11 months and a relationship with talent agent Bryan Lourd, who left her for another man. The child of an unhappy marriage between Reynolds and crooner Eddie Fisher, who deserted Reynolds for Elizabeth Taylor in a scandal that rocked the world a half century ago, Fisher, now 52, has not had an easy life. That’s the Fisher who was on the phone recently from California, where she lives next door to her mother, Debbie Reynolds, in a house once owned by Bette Davis – a house that boasts a piano in a bathroom, "Because the acoustics are so good.''

When information piles up in your head, it leads to stress, overwhelm, and uncertainty.Īllen observed that our brains are much better at processing information than storing it ("your head's a crappy office"). As a result, you spend more time thinking about your tasks than actually doing them.
