Matthew Perry's was incredibly sad and sorrowful. He had all the money in the world, but was empty and lonely deep within.

Barbara Feldon’s. She had a hell of a time with the guy she married and nothing else seemed to work out. It becomes happier toward the end but she seems to have a depressive streak.
A good read, by the way. I knocked it out in an afternoon.
Candice Bergen’s second book was also depressing. She didn’t seem to mesh well with her second husband.

I thought the part of Demi Moore's memoir where she talked about her relationship with Ashton Kutcher was pretty depressing. She tried so hard to make herself feel hot enough for him and then he cheated on her with a much younger woman.
The memoir as a whole wasn't depressing but that part of her life bummed me out.

'YES, I CAN" by Sammy Davis JR. Despite the uplifting title, the memoir depressed the hell out of me.

Poor Matthew Perry he’s just not getting everything his way so he’s let us know in book form. Too bad he’s not around .Like other has-beens he could have found continued fame in Trump/MAGA world.

He had plenty of opportunities to support Trump and chose not to, r5. Why are you talking about him like he died in 2012?

What a horrible comment about Perry R9. Only speak good about the dead. He’s dead-good!

"Once a Dancer" by Allegra Kent. She writes well, and is clearly smart and funny, but she has terrible taste in, or simply bad luck with, men and spent much of her life extremely stressed and depressed over relationships or her life in general. I remember one reviewer said she had "a habit of self-defeat," which is sad to read about in such a talented woman,

Gilda Radner's memoir "It's Always Something" is especially depressing.
Poor Gilda.

Yeah the Sally Field book caught me off guard, I thought I was just going to hear funny bts anecdotes about The Flying Nun.
And the Demi Moore memoir is pretty depressing throughout, r7. The Ashton bit isn’t the worst of it. The story of her childhood and adolescence was harrowing.

Jeannette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom is Dead" is really well written, but it's a difficult book to read.

Julia Phillips's You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again. She did a LOT of drugs.

Dawn Steel's book They Can Kill You, But They Can't Eat You is only depressing in retrospect. She died of brain cancer some time after it was published.

SPARE by Prince Harry
It was depressing to learn what a self-absorbed, vacuous man Harry became. Certainly, there are valid explanations for why he is the way he is, but they were not enough to prevent me from disliking him. Such a waste of opportunity and privilege.
