Description: End Credits by Patty Lin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A candid and revealing look at life in television, Hollywood, and work in the writers room, from an insider who wrote for some of the most popular television shows in history - Friends, Desperate Housewives, and Breaking Bad.Ever since Patty Lin retired from television writing at the ripe age of thirty-eight, people have asked her: Why would you quit such a cool career? Especially when they find out she worked on some of the most successful shows in television history. But what if achieving your professional dreams comes at too high a personal cost? Thats what Patty Lin started to ask herself after years in the cutthroat TV industry. One minute she was a tourist, begging her way into the audience of Late Night with David Letterman. Just a few years later, she was an insider who - through relentless hard work and sacrifice - had earned a seat in the writers rooms of the hottest TV shows of all time. While writing for Friends, Freaks and Geeks, Desperate Housewives and Breaking Bad, Patty steeled herself against the indignities of a chaotic, abusive, male-dominated work culture, not just as one of the few women in the room, but as the only Asian person.Funny, eye-opening, and sobering, this inside-Hollywood story will resonate with anyone who has struggled with their work and on their life journey. And it will inspire others to listen to their inner voices and know when its time to get out.
