ANNE ROBINSON - MEMOIRES OF AN UNFIT MOTHER -ENGELS

Who is Anne Robinson? She's the notorious grand inquisitor of the television sensation the weakest link. She's the first woman in nearly half a century to host a prime-time game show. She's the highest-paid female journalist in british history. She warrants fan mail and death threats, fear and loathing, unqualified admiration and unabashed hatred.... But what you don't know about the host from hell could fill a book. From pioneering journalist to overnight pop-culture phenomenon, anne robinson tells all with the same bar-nothing candor that won her the honor of "rudest woman on tv" (britain's tvtimes). But now anne robinson trains her steely-eyed focus on her own past. With unblinking honesty she 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 sensational, highly publicized custody battle. And with biting humor, anne robinson explores what brought her to her latest level of infamy: the autocratic style, withering glance, and stinging lash of the lady in black, landing her in the unique position of being both the most popular and unpopular television personality in history. This is anne robinson. Are you game? Hardcover285 blz (beetje vergeeld)
