Publishers Description: From the Queen of the Indies and star of Christopher Guests Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, Woody Allens Cafe Society and Irrational Man -and cult classics like Party Girl and Dazed and Confused -comes an irreverent, hilarious, and enchanting memoir full of personal stories, whimsical how-tos, recipes and eccentric illustrations.Its hard not to love Parker Posey. A singularly gifted actress with a wickedly funny personality that belies her movie star status, her cross-generational fame stems from starring roles in such unforgettable movies as Dazed and Confused, Party Girl,and Youve Got Mail, her recurring roles in Christopher Guests mockumentaries, including his most recent, Mascots, on Netflix - and her forthcoming role in Netflixs 2018 reboot of Lost in Space. With remarkable candour and a refreshing perspective on life in the spotlight, Posey opens up about the art of acting, life on the set, and the realities of its accompanying fame. She explores her relationships with brilliant directors like Christopher Guest and Woody Allen, as well as the nerves and expectations that come with the territory. A funny and authentic childhood set Posey up for a life of creating and entertaining, which not only extends to acting but to the craft of pottery, sewing, collage, yoga and cooking, all of which readers will find in this highly entertaining book. In Youre On an Airplane, Posey delves into her personal style - unique, famously inspiring, and never indebted to trends--as well as her approach to everyday life on and off set. Laugh-out-loud advice from her legendary Greenwich Village therapist Mildred Newman appears alongside poignant portrayals of painful relationships and the love she has for her dog, Gracie. For fans of Nora Ephrons spot-on commentary, Jenny Lawsons absurdly comical foibles, Amy Sedariss unexpectedly hilarious quips, and Carrie Brownsteins cool-girl appeal, Youre On an Airplane proves Posey has a voice that will enchant fans and newcomers alike.
