Beschreibung

The Wrath of Blonde hysterically chronicles the life of Laura Banks and her time at Paramount Pictures navigating the USS Reliant with Ricardo Montalban as Khan in Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan, her friendship with William Shatner and collisions with other celebrities in Hollywood. First, she had to escape Kansas and move to California where she met Whoopi Goldberg and performed in an improv comedy troupe, Spontaneous Combustion. It's a memoir about surviving then thriving, first as an actress in action pictures, and finally as an author and comic. All the time Laura is looking for love in many of the wrong places, but coming out on top.
