"Apparently There Were Complaints" delves into Sharon's remarkable career and explores her complicated family, struggles with alcoholism, and her fear of romantic commitment as well as her encounters with some of Hollywood's biggest names from Tyne Daly, to Rosie O'Donnell, Steven Spielberg, Angela Lansbury, Lorne Michaels, Michael Douglas, and many more. Brutally honest and incredibly relatable, she puts it all out on the page in the same way she has lived-never with moderation.A fifth-generation Californian, Sharon knew from a young age that she wanted to be an actress, and was the granddaughter of one of the most famous and powerful entertainment attorneys during the Golden Age of Hollywood, Neil S. McCarthy, who represented Howard Hughes, Cecil B. DeMille, Mary Pickford, Katharine Hepburn. After some rocky teenage years that included her parents' divorce and some minor (and not-so-minor) rebellion, she landed a coveted spot as an exclusive contract player for Universal Studios. In 1982, she stepped into the role of New York Police Detective Christine Cagney for the series "Cagney & Lacey," which reached an audience of 30 million weekly viewers and garnered Sharon two Emmy Awards. The show made history as the first hour-long drama to feature two women in the leading roles.
