Book review: Actor minkakelly bares all in stunning new memoir 'Tell Me Everything'
"Tell Me Everything" by Minka Kelly To most of us, Minka Kelly is cheerleader Lyla Garrity from the much-loved high school football series"Friday Night Lights." And the masked vigilante Dawn Granger in the DC superhero show"Titans." Or one of the dozens of other roles she has taken on in a prolific acting career that's spanned two decades.Kelly pulls back the curtain on her deeply traumatic early life in a stunning, achingly honest new memoir.
At its center, though,"Tell Me Everything" is about Kelly's relationship with her late mother, Maureen, an exotic dancer who struggled with addiction and had difficulty making ends meet. The two spent years relying on friends and relatives to take them in, living at one point in a garage and at another, in a storage unit.
"There have been times, I have to be honest, when I've been mad at her for having birthed me," Kelly writes."I didn't ask for all this. I didn't ask for this trauma."
