Jeff Hiller Shares Favorite Celebrity Memoir Audiobooks Ahead of His Own Release
Comedian and author Jeff Hiller has opened up about his favorite celebrity memoir audiobooks, aligning with the launch of his new collection of essays, Actress of a Certain Age, on June 10. In an interview with Page Six, the 49-year-old Hiller reflected on how these memoirs have guided him in his writing journey.
"I don’t just read celebrity memoirs, but they are definitely my favorite genre," Hiller admitted, humorously acknowledging his identity as a middle-aged gay man who enjoys the likes of Candice Bergen’s stories. He shared a curated list of six must-listen audiobooks, all showcasing the engaging life experiences of their authors.
Among his picks is Yours Cruelly, Elvira by Cassandra Peterson, where she combines wit and vulnerability, recounting her journey from a Las Vegas showgirl to a pop culture icon. Hiller also recommends Handbook for an Unpredictable Life by Rosie Perez, praising her vibrant writing style and resilience.
Adrienne Barbeau’s memoir, There Are Worse Things I Could Do, impressed Hiller with its blend of sass and allure, while Cicely Tyson’s Just As I Am offers a profound look into her life, touching on topics from activism to her role as Lenny Kravitz’s godmother.
Hiller highlights that Lee Grant’s I Said Yes to Everything details her remarkable career trajectory, including her Oscar win at 49, while Dying of Politeness by Geena Davis captures the versatility of its star—a celebrated actress and Olympic-level archer with a pet donkey.
As Hiller embarks on his own literary journey, he acknowledges the influence of these powerful narratives, which pave the way for fresh storytelling in celebrity memoirs.
