Out Of The Corner

“Jennifer Grey peels back all the artifice, denial, obfuscation, and myriad assumptions and exposes a gorgeous, human portrait of her life.”  —  Jamie Lee Curtis
 
In this beautiful, close-to-the-bone account, Jennifer Grey takes readers on a vivid tour of the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood as the daughter of Broadway and film legend Joel Grey to the surprise hit with Patrick Swayze that made her America’s sweetheart, to her inspiring season eleven win on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Throughout this intimate narrative, Grey richly evokes places and times that were defining for a generation - from her preteen days in 1970s Malibu and wild child nights in New York's club scene, to her roles in quintessential movies of the 1980s, including The Cotton Club, Red Dawn, and her breakout performance in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. With self-deprecating humour and frankness, she looks back on her unbridled, romantic adventures in Hollywood. 

Distinctive, moving, and powerful, told with generosity and pluck, Out Of The Corner is a memoir about a never-ending personal evolution, a coming-of-age story for women of every age.

“We all know Jennifer Grey as a talented actress, but Out of the Corner introduces us to a gifted writer.”  — Michael J. Fox
