Summary

"Little House in the Hollywood Hills is a no-holds-barred, heart-breaking, and ultimately joyful account of 50 years in TV and film--offering a back-stage pass to Hollywood's cocaine-fueled glory days. The book offers behind-the-scenes details of Charlotte Stewart's celebrated work as television's most beloved schoolteacher, Miss Beadle, on Little House on the Prairie, as well as with David Lynch in his cult classic Eraserhead as Mary X, and later in the blockbuster show Twin Peaks as Betty Briggs, the eternal optimist who wore a smiley face button to Laura Palmer's funeral. It's a memoir of working with leading men from Jimmy Stewart and Elvis Presley to Kevin Bacon and Kyle MacLachlan. It also details off-stage marriages, friendships, and flings with some of film and music's biggest names"--Back cover.
