    Favorite Book: "The Harder They Fall" by Jane Merrill

    "A memorable book! In "The Harder They Fall," publicist Gary Stromberg and author Jane Merrill write stories about twenty-one celebrities and their experiences with addictions. My story is in there, too. Stromberg begins with his own story about how he got addicted and how hard he had to hit bottom before he could climb up on top again. It's a must read."
