Reviews

"Life is a rehearsal," writes Helen Hayes, doyenne of the American theater, and exemplifies that statement in this sequel to Our Best Years (also coauthored by Gladney) in a freewheeling sampling of her sanguine philosophy. The inspirational and commonsense musings cover a range of topicschanges in American lifestyle, the role of grandparents (with a poignant reference to Hayes's grandchildren), the common cold, the invasive telephoneviewed from the extensive life experience and world travels of the celebrated actress. Anecdotes from her years in the performing arts support the forthright expression of a woman who continues to be an optimistic participant in life rather than a jaded spectator.
