With self-deprecating humor and frankness, she looks back on her unbridled, romantic adventures in Hollywood. And with enormous bravery, she shares the devastating fallout from a plastic surgery procedure that caused the sudden and stunning loss of her professional identity and career. Grey inspires with her hard-won battle back, reclaiming her sense of self from a culture and business that can impose a narrow and unforgiving definition of female worth. She finds, at last, her own true north and starts a family of her own, just in the nick of time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistinctive, moving, and powerful, told with generosity and pluck, \u003ci\u003eOut of the Corner\u003c\/i\u003e is a memoir about a never-ending personal evolution, a coming-of-age story for women of every age.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Grey\u003c\/b\u003e is best known for her iconic portrayal of Baby in the beloved film classic \u003ci\u003eDirty Dancing, \u003c\/i\u003e which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, and for her breakout role, as Matthew Broderick's sister in John Hughes's \u003ci\u003eFerris Bueller's Day Off.\u003c\/i\u003e Her numerous film, television, and theater credits span decades.
