Dying of Politeness: A Memoir

Product Information

In other words, it was all just bit she couldn’t reflect the humor in: Murray exploiting the screaming, megalomaniac-director -trope, in full clown wardrobe …at her expense. Bursting with witty, practical advice on the ins and outs of etiquette, from how one should dress for a formal occasion to what behaviour one should adopt while travelling abroad, this guide will help every modern woman to deport herself with confidence in all types of social and public situations. Dying of Politeness may seem like a weird title but once you read this book, the title makes perfect sense.

Unlike some actor's memoirs, Davis mentions both parents throughout the book with genuine love, kindness and respect.That also proved not only can you do that stuff, but the world isn’t going to end if you actually say what you want or think. I'm a massive fan Geena Davis as an actress and just as the kickass human being she is, so I came into this predisposed to love it. As the star of some of Hollywood’s most memorable cinematic masterpieces, Geena Davis has remained unforgettable. Fans will love reading nuggets about her hit films, like “Beetlejuice “, “Thelma and Louise”, and “A League Of Their Own”.

I love Geena and it was so fun to listen to her read her own memoir, sharing stories about the various movies/shows she's worked on, including Thelma and Louise, A league of their own and Commander in Chief.You battled a handful of phobias in your childhood that caused you distress—everything from an irrational fear of dying from touching a poinsettia to being convinced you had breast cancer at 12. Davis was in her 40s when she had children; almost as if she finally had time for that when movie roles dried up.
