Item Description
You know her. You love her. Now read all about her.
Olympia Dukakis is American "royalty", an actress born in Lowell, Massachusetts on June 20, 1931. In 1987, she won an Academy Award, BAFTA, and a Golden Globe for her performance in Moonstruck. She received another Golden Globe nomination for Sinatra, and Emmy nominations for Lucky Day, More Tales of the City, and Joan of Arc.
Dukakis has held a lengthy career in a diverse range of films, including Steel Magnolias, Mr. Holland's Opus, Jane Austen's Mafia!, The Thing About My Folks, and Moonstruck, for which she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She also played the role of Anna Madrigal in the Tales of the City television mini-series, which garnered her an Emmy Award nomination and icon status in the GLBT community, and appeared on Search for Tomorrow as Dr. Barbara Moreno, who romanced Stu Bergman.
Dukakis is known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art...she is a role model for women of all ages.
In Ask Me Again Tomorrow: A Life in Progress, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professionally calling.
A great read, and a great collectors item.
