Where To Watch
Can you match these books to the stars that wrote them?
These classic TV stars wrote children's books, memoirs, and holiday romances.
These days, it seems like almost every celebrity writes a book. There's a reason for that — people want to know what's going on in their favorite star's head. While biographies are probably the most common, actors will also write art books, children's stories, comics, crime thrillers... the range is as varied as the shows and movies they star in.
We've collected just a small sample of some books written by classic TV stars. Can you match the title to the celebrity who wrote it?

3/11 Ouch! LOL

Ya can't tell an actor by his cover.

"with a family member"
was a giveaway, given the options only had one brother I've ever heard of, (out of Jerry Mathers, Johnny Crawford, Ron Howard) ... double locked in as soon as you remember Clint was the "messy faced cherub" on Andy Griffith (Hollywood and Family hints that they not only both acted, but together too)

3/11 Never knew that these actors wrote books especially Burt Reynolds
LOLOLOLOL 4/11.... and I'm a voracious reader... yet I have never heard of nor read any of these books. 😂📚
Totally lost. Lol. 5/11. The Boys was an easy one though. Reading it right now. Sounds like I have a lot of other books to look for. 🙂
4/11…💩
10/11, got #2 wrong.
5/11
Same here. A really tough quiz. Good to have one of those once in a while. It keeps you sharp.
6/11, and guessed.
Same here :P
1/11 ... I obviously don't read Hollwyodd memoirs.
8/11, higher than anyone who's posted their score so far.
Haven't actually read any of these books, but I remember Clint Howard talking about "The Boys" on an NPR show. And #4 was just too goofy a concept to be anyone else listed (I saw him on Letterman once where he came out and decided he wanted to do the interview lying on Dave's desk flat on his back instead of sitting in the usual chair.)

Alan Alda also wrote a book titled "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed".

5/11. 😜 I love to read, but I've never read any of these, clearly.
7, all guesses.
6/11. Not exactly Pulitzer-worthy material, I'm afraid.
