Movies Based on Memoirs with Mallary Tenore Tarpley
On a super-sized Season 5 finale of Talking Movies with My Mom, we’re joined by special guest Mallary Tenore Tarpley, author of the memoir "Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery," who helps us kick-start the holidays by talking about three movies based on best-selling memoirs — "Persepolis," "The Glass Castle," and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
Join us as we travel to a time when forging literary letters required dozens of typewriters; wearing a Michael Jackson pin meant being a public pariah; and the hardest lesson to learn was accepting your parents as they are — flaws and all. A sentiment that Mallary brings home while reading a passage from her book.
