I’m Walking as Straight as I Can: Transcending Disability in Hollywood and Beyond

Born with cerebral palsy, my dear friend Geri Jewell inspired a generation of young people when she became the first person with a disability to appear in a recurring role on prime-time television, with her groundbreaking character, Cousin Geri, on the NBC sitcom The Facts of Life.

Geri’s book is so inspirational as she tells her heartfelt story about her challenges and triumphs on her rise to stardom as a stand-up comic and television star.
