Everybody Has To Be Somebody Book

THE STORY: Having been a stage mother when her daughter, Frances, was pursuing an acting career, Maggie has now become a stage grandmother; running her daughter's household; spoiling her teenage grandson and his friends; and treating her son-in-law to gastronomical delights far beyond his wife's culinary capacity. And, now that her daughter's old movies are appearing on the Late Show, Maggie has also decided (secretly) that the time has come for a revival of Frances' thespian activities. But what was intended to be a big, happy surprise turns out to be instead a big, upsetting problem - and the resulting complications keep the action bubbling merrily along until Maggie, sadder but wiser, learns that managing one's own affairs can be quite enough for even a decidedly swinging grandmother to cope with.A warm-hearted family comedy which deals delightfully with the well-meant meddling of an irrepressible grandmother whose ambition for others brings her proteges more trouble than joy.
