What’s it really like when your spouse becomes one of the most famous—and controversial—names in America overnight, while you’re left juggling kids, bills, and the glare of Hollywood’s spotlight? In One Degree of Separation: 50 Riotous Years as Mr. Roseanne Barr. Roseanne's first husband, Bill Pentland, finally tells his untold story with raw honesty, biting humor, and surprising heart. From free-spirited hippie days in a Colorado cabin to the chaos of network sitcom superstardom, Pentland’s memoir is a front-row ticket to the cultural explosion that reshaped American television. He takes readers inside the whirlwind— his grueling postal career, late-night comedy clubs, and the storm of sudden celebrity—while exposing the rarely seen emotional toll of life lived in the glare of fame. Already earning rave reviews from award-winning Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and directors, Pentland’s memoir is being praised as essential reading for anyone chasing stardom—or simply fascinated by the machinery behind television fame.
