About this title: David L. Lander, best known for his role as Squiggy on the television sitcom LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY reveals his grueling battle with multiple sclerosis in this candid autobiography. Fearing the termination of his career, he kept his condition a secret for years. Yet, because he fell down several times in public, he developed a reputation as an alcoholic, which destroyed his popularity. Only with his daughter's encouragement did Lander decide to share his secret with the press. Much to his surprise, he continued to receive Hollywood offers.

"This is a very entertaining book but it is also true. I was diagnosed in 1998 and I had a lot of the same things happen. It is a must read for anyone with MS or knows anyone with MS."
"Squiggy writes! David Lander details his entertainment career, how he got started with Michael McKean and Harry Shearer (some fabulous shots of Harry with long hair in the book!), his work on "Laverne & Shirley", and how he realized he had Multiple Sclerosis and proceeded to keep the information from his friends and colleagues. Lander keeps the stories flowing fast, and the book reads like an extended conversation with an entertainment insider. A quick read, and an entertaining autobiography."
