Annotation

Born with cerebral palsy, Geri Jewell made history when she became the first person with a disability to be cast in a recurring role on a TV series in the 1980s sitcom The Facts of Life. After her big break she appeared on stage and screen with George Burns, Robin Williams and Shirley Maclaine, to name but a few. But behind closed doors, things were not as happy as they seemed on screen. Through her book, Geri allows readers to see beyond the one-dimensional hero image and gives a true glimpse of the very real pain and unquestionable faith in the human spirit.
