Hi, looking for some more CD audiobooks for my mom. She's currently enjoying the Teri Garr memoir Speedbumps: Flooring It Through Hollywood.
So, I'm looking for chatty/insider's funny memoirs or tell-all similar to Teri Garr's by celebrities that my mom might appreciate.
In Speedbumps, Terri Garr (1944-2024) writes about the unfolding of her MS diagnosis, her personal life and career in acting, including lots of asides about her opinions of the people she met along the way. There's a glimpse of her resilience and a lot of dry humour – she laughs at some of her own choices and reactions as she grew into herself.

Along with this, I'm looking for other types of memoirs and novels that might interest her too. Other interests include: LGBTQIA+ especially in context of Caribbean or immigrant experience, Reggae music, Rastafarianism, Motown girl groups.
Memoirs she's been interested in include:
Tina Turner's memoirs
Carol Burnett's memoir
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair
Fiction:
Patsy by Nicole Y. Dennis-Benn
Here Comes The Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn
The Confessions of Frannie Langton
Thanks for any more recommendations. MUST BE AVAILABLE IN AUDIOBOOK CD
