Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Singer, actress and comedienne Marilyn Michaels, America’s premier woman of a thousand faces and voices, on collaborating with her son, comedy writer Mark Wilk; the difference between an impressionist and an impersonator; and why it’s never a good idea to order halibut for delivery. Marilyn’s book, HOW NOT TO COOK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, is not a cookbook, but it does offer a recipe for obtaining what you want in life without breaking your bank account or compromising your values. It’s also filled with great stories about Marilyn’s life and showbiz career. HOW NOT TO COOK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE is available through Amazon.com and MarilynMichaels.com
