"NEW YORK - Broadway star Patti LuPone, known for her Tony Award-winning roles in "Gypsy" and "Evita," is working on a memoir, tentatively scheduled to be released in 2010 by Harmony Books, an imprint of Random House Inc.
According to the publisher, the actress will write about her whole life, "From her beginnings in Northport, Long Island, where she discovered that being onstage was the one place she couldn't get into trouble, she takes us on the roller-coaster of professional highs ... and emotional lows (her humiliating firing from `Sunset Boulevard,' nightclub work in the Catskills to pay the bills).""

Posted: 6/17/08 at 10:03pmWow... far out. But, where is she going to find the time to write her autobiography? from RC in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

"i hope she does an audiobook as well!"
Hahaha! Thank you so much for that thought! I really hope she does, hahaha! Can you imagine:
On the topic of being fired from Sunset Boulevard "I was PISSED. OFF."
Or talking about her Tony win for Gypsy "29 years? Tony voters should be replaced any time I don't win!"
Just to hear her say things like that would completely make my day.
