Tina Fey: TV Comedy Superstar

Filled with engaging photographs, this biography of Tina Fey does a nice job bridging Tina’s youth to the hard-working, talented celebrity she is today.  We got a nice glimpse of her personality in middle school (studious, obedient, and active in activities) and her clean-cut high school years (AP nerd, didn’t party), yet admittedly jealous of the popular girls.  A talented, witty writer, Tina Fey has the distinction of being the first female head writer for Saturday Night Live.  After reading the non-fiction book “Queen Bees and Wannabes” about adolescence cliques, Tina used this self-help book as a basis for the successful movie “Mean Girls.”  With impressive credentials, Tina went on to write and star in “30 Rock,” her current project, which has earned seven Emmys.  The author is fair about reporting the disappointments and failures of this actress, too, earning a rating of “R” from me!
