Comments on: Barbara Walters to Ellen: “I love you whether you ever read my book” http://www.celebitchy.com/11690/barbara_walters_tells_ellen_i_love_you_whether_you_ever_read_my_book/ Stylish celebrity escapism Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:55:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Vincent http://www.celebitchy.com/11690/barbara_walters_tells_ellen_i_love_you_whether_you_ever_read_my_book/#comment-42106 Vincent Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:55:50 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=11690#comment-42106 Barbara Walter's life was influenced greatly by her older sister and she's written a beautiful memoir about her life. I read another memoir of a life influence by a sibling that I recommend highly - I actually liked it even more. The memoir is ""My Stroke of Insight"" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr Taylor became a Harvard brain scientist to find the cause and cure for schizophrenia because her older brother was a sufferer. Then, crazy as life can be, Dr. Taylor had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible. What I took away from Dr. Taylor's book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don't have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. ""I want what she's having"", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can!

She needs to leave Ellen alone. Ellen has more class than Barbara ever did! I think she needs the press and she is desperate at this point. She needs to leave Ellen alone.

She reminds me of Faye Dunaway's character so much! When I think of Barbara W I always remember this awesome film “Network”. She reminds me of Faye Dunaway’s character so much!

She clearly doesn't care about her reputation.She is probably a very sad and lonely person.
