Critic reviews

"The elegant theater and screen actress bares all of her insecurities and regrets.... But there’s also an intimacy and directness in how she shares—including numerous dishy, behind-the-glam anecdotes.... Grant has lived a long, full life. While she may prefer to be coy about precisely how long it’s lasted so far, I Said Yes to Everything serves as evidence that it’s been long enough to give her a meaty, multifaceted and compelling story to tell." (Jen Chaney, The Washington Post)

"[N]o-holds-barred.... Grant doesn’t make us read between the lines here; it’s all right there, on the page. When she was jubilant after winning an Oscar for her supporting role in Shampoo, we know it; when she was disgusted, as when a television network canceled her series without telling her, we know it, too; and, of course, when she was dismayed and bewildered and depressed when she couldn’t find work during her 12-year blacklisting, we know it for sure.... An excellent show-business autobiography." (Booklist, starred review)

"In this wonderful memoir, actor Grant charts her life from a childhood in New York City through her performance in Shampoo and beyond.... Whether recalling the traumas of her first marriage to screenwriter Arnold Manoff or sharing entertaining memories of her famous friends, Grant does so with a with a lively, approachable tone. Though famous for her achievements as a multi-award winning actor, director, and documentarian, Grant reveals herself to be woman unafraid of continual self-reinvention. These pages tell a gripping story full of drama, humor, and hardship, offering an intimate look into the singular life of one indefatigable protagonist." (Publishers Weekly)
