Meredith Baxter is a beloved television actress whose warmth and humor made her a hugely popular icon on the ’80s hit sitcom Family Ties. However, her success masked a harrowing private life. In Untied, Baxter reveals her incredible highs (working with Robert Redford, Doris Day and Lana Turner) and lows (a thorny relationship with her mom, a difficult marriage to David Birney and a bout with breast cancer.)
She was forced to rely on her acting skills after her first divorce left her a 22-year-old single mother of two. After flirtations with film (including the critical bomb Ben and the political thriller All The President’s Men), she soon found great success on the small screen, starring with David Birney in Bridget Loves Bernie. Their real-life marriage lasted 15 tumultuous years and her self-esteem crumbled while her career flourished.
During the successful run of Family Ties, Baxter was embroiled in a bitter divorce and relying more and more heavily on alcohol. After taking her last drink in 1990, she re-emerged with a new self-awareness that allowed her to find a loving relationship with Nancy Locke—and to speak about it openly. This wonderful autobiography is eye-opening and inspiring.
