Living Beyond All Expectations

Laura Banks's new memoir, The Wrath of Blonde, is a true-life story about an adventurous girl who leaves her home in Kansas for California in search of fame, fortune, and frolic – and finds all three. The compelling book takes the reader through Laura’s life from surviving a dysfunctional childhood to working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. It traces her early years as an actress, including landing a small, but pivotal role in Star Trek II, how Whoopi Goldberg came into her life, her romantic encounter with William Shatner, and finding success as an author, comedian, and actress. Laura was a regular at the famous Improvisation in NYC as well as the Comedy Cellar. She was a member of an improv comedy troupe with Whoopi entitled, Spontaneous Combustion. She became a bestselling author with Embracing Your Big Fat Ass, an Owner's Manual, and Breaking the Rules: Last-Ditch Tactics for Landing the Man of Your Dreams, written by Janette Barber and published by Simon and Schuster. And, as if acting, writing, and comedy weren’t enough, the stars have truly aligned in Laura’s case; not only as an actress on Star Trek but also as a renowned astrologer. True Trekkies, and others, can now have their charts read by someone whose been to the stars.
