Bright Lights, Prarie Dust: A Memoir by Karen Grassle

3.0

I liked it, but it was a bit baffling. As devoted as she was to the THEATAH, I was interested in finding out how she ended up on LHOTP. How someone with pretty much no tv/film experience wins a starring role in a series? I still don't know. They really must have been going for "a look", I guess. Not that she wasn't wonderful in the part. And then the book ends rather abruptly. She and her then-husband were happy and looking forward to hopefully becoming parents. You have to do your own research to find out what happens - they adopted, split up and she has been married again since that. And then there was an early 2000s LHOTP mini-reunion, which apparently gave her the closure she needed. But it would have been nice to know a little more about the last ~20 years.
