Memoirs of an Unfit Mother

Anne Robinson

Beschreibung

The grand inquisitor of The Weakest Link bares all in this humor-laced memoir.The first woman in nearly half a century to host a prime-time game show and the highest-paid female journalist in British history, Anne Robinson warranted fan mail, death threats, unqualified admiration, and unabashed hatred. From pioneering journalist to overnight phenomenon, Robinson shares the events of her formative upbringing by a sensitive father and a driven, hardworking mother who was "part magic, part monster." With unreserved pride she reveals the headline-making battles to carve out her own career as a journalist, a controversial consumer reporter, and a BBC anchor— a calling that took its toll on a troubled marriage and a highly publicized custody battle. And with biting humor, Anne explores how she achieved a peak level of infamy— namely her autocratic style, withering glances, and stinging barbs— landing her in the unique position of being both the most popular and unpopular television personality in history.
