Jeff Hiller on The Celebrity Memoir
This week Memoir Nation ventures into waters rarely touched except when speaking “about” the topic. Yep, it’s celebrity memoir.
Jeff Hiller, author of the new memoir, Actress of a Certain Age, is a celebrity, but only so newly so that we feel he’s an appropriate ambassador of the genre—someone who straddles that otherworldly space and the real world. Grant and Brooke laughed a lot on this show, and we’re happy to report that we have a new bestie in Jeff Hiller. Listen this week so you’ll know how it all got started. And, if you need a laugh—and who doesn’t?—this is just a fun and funny interview on celebrity memoir and so much more.
Jeff Hiller is a Peabody‑winning actor (“Somebody Somewhere”), solo storytelling favorite (“Grief Bacon, Middle Aged Ingenue”), and memoirist whose essays reveal the surprising twists behind his “overnight success”—a path shaped by small‑town Texas, UCB improv, social work, and a late‑blooming acting career. He’s also an improv teacher, a proud pet parent, and married to artist Neil Goldberg.
