MOTHERHOOD & HOLLYWOOD How To Get a Job Like Mine

Patricia Heaton plays a wife and mother on "Everybody Loves Raymond." In real life, she's the mother of four. Her sense of humor developed as she grew up in suburban Cleveland, one of five children. Heaton's memoir covers the struggles she experienced as a child when she lost her mother, the trials of making it in show business, and her strategies for coping with success. Heaton's wit serves her well as she manages being a working mom and playing a similar character on TV. Likable and down-to-earth, Heaton is the girl next door who made it big. B.J.P.
