I'm Kind of a Big Deal: And Other Delusions of Adequacy - Paperback

by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor (Author)

"Bursting with hysterical, wildly perceptive musings" (Amy Hatvany, author of Best Kept Secret), this irresistible collection of irreverent personal essays from the acclaimed author of Drunk-ish is unputdownable.

Whether she's driving a limo for former Family Ties star Justine Bateman, dancing in the dark for a rarely seen Bob Dylan music video, or stalking a bachelor reject from TV's Love Connection, Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is kind of a big deal--at least in her own mind. Smart, screwy, and scathingly funny, her tell-all essays capture every cringe-worthy moment of her kind-of famous life. From bombing as a stand-up comic for born-again Christians, to winging it as a singing waitress in an Italian restaurant, to posting open letters to Angelina Jolie and David Hasselhoff, this unstoppable Los Angeles transplant refuses to give up on her dreams--no matter how ill-advised--and shows us a side of Hollywood better kept hidden.
