"The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others."
- William Lyon Phelps

| |  | | | In Brief
The Practice has made perfect for actress Camryn Manheim. Her portrayal of Ellenor Frutt on that very popular ABC series has led to Golden Globe and Emmy wins for Manheim, each in the category of Best Supporting Actress in a Series. Having conquered television, Manheim now sets her sights on the literary world. Her first book, Wake Up, I'm Fat, which was inspired by her one-woman show of the same name, is an irreverent and insightful look at the actress's efforts to accept herself for who she is and her ongoing quest to remind the world that beauty and talent come in all shapes and sizes.
| | | | From The Publisher
Thankfully, Camryn Manheim has never played by the rules. Her fierce determination to defy the beauty myth, the naysayers, and casting stereotypes has resulted in one of today's most remarkable and unique Hollywood success stories. Her groundbreaking role as Ellenor Frutt on television's hottest drama, The Practice, has won her an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award—victories that are the culmination of decades of hard work, perseverance, and battles fought with her parents, lovers, the establishment, and herself.
In this inspirational memoir, Camryn chronicles her journey from a self-hating, "overweight" teenager who desperately wanted to fit in, to a self-loving, fat activist who is proud to be a misfit. Wake Up, I'm Fat! shares her intelligent, candid, poignant, and often hilarious stories of being fat in a society obsessed with being thin. Camryn takes us from her days as a motorcycle-riding hippie in Santa Cruz to her enrollment at New York University's prestigious school of drama—where Pulitzer Prize-winning Tony Kushner broke the unspoken theater rules of size and cast her in the role of the ingenue—and finally to Hollywood, where she dispelled the fallacy that large women can't be portrayed as sensual, sophisticated, and confident.
Camryn's endearing honesty, sass, and razor-sharp wit will appeal to all those who have ever felt like outcasts or yearned to make peace with their bodies.
