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 Rainbow. Now, Bonnie Bartlett Daniels herself narrates the Audible audiobook of
Middle of the Rainbow, 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 as to how the long marriage was "hardly a fairy tale." She discusses her professional successes including the highlight of the 1986 dual Emmy awards for her 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 Rainbow 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, whom she describes as powerful but destructive. Bonnie's bird's-eye view of "Old Hollywood" shows both the glamor and the grit of the notoriously dirty industry as well as her determination to fight her way through it all.
Middle of the Rainbow on Audible is available for Pre-order on Amazon
