Something about Olympia Dukakis just speaks to people. Now, for the first time, she speaks out - in her signature straight-talk style - about her own history and career.

From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous line in 'Moonstruck', "I know who I am", to her lauded role as Mrs Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in 'Tales Of The City', to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience. Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, she is a role model to women of all ages.

Olympia Dukakis's award-winning role in 'Moonstruck' made her a household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey, while she and her husband raised their three children.

She managed to "have it all" - career, family, home - before having it all became fashionable. She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer's and moved into the family home, completing Olympia's three-generation family.

In this book, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling.

A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, 'Ask Me Again Tomorrow' is more than a celebrity memoir - it's a book that will endure.
