Famed Actress’s Memoir Now Available on Audiobook
April 2024 -- Los Angeles, CA – Emmy Award winning actress, Bonnie Bartlett Daniels is still at it in front of the camera at 94 years old. The actively working actor (Little House on the Prairie, Golden Girls, Home Improvement, Twins, ER, Parks and Recreation, and Better Call Saul to name a few) has finally opened up with her life story and the not so pretty experiences she endured during the “Golden Age “of film and TV for her memoir Middle of the Road. Now, Bonnie Bartlett Daniels herself narrates the Audible audiobook of Middle of the Road, thus giving listeners a chance to hear her personal narrative in her own voice. The audible book, which will be available on April 26, 2024, can be pre-ordered now from Amazon.com or Audible (see below links.)
In her book, Bartlett discusses her decades-long acting career and marriage to beloved iconic fellow actor, William Daniels. Bartlett opens up to how the several decades long marriage was “hardly a fairy tale.” She discusses her professional successes including the highlight of the 1986 dual Emmy awards for she and her husband’s work on the show St. Elsewhere. Additionally, Bartlett talks of the adoption of her two sons and her satisfaction at being a hands-on mother.
Middle of the Road gives readers the behind-the-scenes talk from industry greats – from Marilyn Monroe (“an ordinary girl wanting to learn to be a better actress”) to director Elia Kazan, who she describes as powerful but destructive. Bonnie’s bird’s eye view of ‘old Hollywood” shows both the glamour and the grit of the notoriously dirty industry - but how she had the determination to fight her way through it all.
Middle of the Road on Audible is available for Pre-order on Amazon.
