Endnotes:

1. Sandra Bernhard, Confessions of a Pretty Lady, (New York, Harper and Row, 1988), p. 118. Capsule Review:  Lyrical, spare  and confessional. Prioritizes the mundane, personal moments and epiphanies over show business gossip. Slack Score: 12; Snark Score: 9 Overall FCA ranking #4
2. Ellen DeGeneres, Seriously… I’m Kidding, (New York, Hachete Book Group, 2011), p. 240. Capsule Review: Often hilarious. More a collection of off-kilter and inspirational musings than a traditional autobiography, Slack Score: 4.4; Snark Score 13.2; Overall FCA ranking #126
3. Grock (Chris Wettach), Grock; King of Clowns, (London, Methuen and Co.,  1956), p.42. Capsule Summary: Absolutely riveting account  of incredibly accomplished success story largely forgotten by history, though rarely funny and occasionally tasteless/outmoded views of ethnicity and culture.
