Marlo Thomas grew up in Beverly Hills with plenty of stars all around. She and her siblings got to watch their famous father and also his comic friends. Their home was filled with chaos and laughter. Marlo's grandmother was even a drummer in a little band. All of this comedy shaped and inspired Marlo. She learned from her dad but also struck out on her own to have a career without the help of her famous father. Throughout the book, Marlo interviews comedians of today, asking about the way they grew up and how it has influenced their comedy.
I loved the books that Marlo Thomas wrote called "The Right Words at the Right Time". This book was a wonderful description of her family and her father. I truly enjoyed the parts about St. Jude's hospital and learning more about Danny Thomas. He was a very talented man who raised a very talented daughter. I also enjoyed the interviews with other comedians. Some were very funny and some were raised in sad circumstances that influenced their lives and their humor.
