Author Visit & Book Signing
TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 6:30 PM
AN EVENING WITH FRANK AND
KATHIE LEE GIFFORD
THE GLORY GAME & JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I'D DROPED MY LAST EGG
Avon Theatre
272 Bedford Street, Stamford, CT
Carte Blanche - Free / Members-$10 / Nonmembers-$20
Tickets are now on sale at the Avon box office during showtimes, or call 203-661-0321. Wine & Cheese reception - 6:30pm; Program at 7:00pm
The Avon Theatre welcomes iconic NFL player, TV analyst and Hall of Famer Frank Gifford, along with his wife, TV anchor, actress, singer and performer Kathie Lee Gifford, as the two discuss their recent books -- The Glory Game: How the 1958 NFL Championship Changed Football Forever (Harper, $25.95), by Frank Gifford, and Just When I Thought I Dropped My Last Egg: Life and Other Calamaties (Ballantine Books, $22), by Kathie Lee Gifford.
The Glory Game: How the 1958 NFL Championship Changed Football Forever is a definitive account of the epic, sudden-death overtime 1958 NFL game played before a record-setting national television audience. Featuring the funny, emotional and startlingly clear memories of every living Colt and Giant-former rivals now joined in a select brotherhood- The Glory Game recreates the electrifying atmosphere at Yankee Stadium on December 28, 1958: the game-changing plays, fights, injuries and swings in momentum that eventually led to a Colts victory. This fiercely fought game would become a defining moment in all of the players' lives as well as a pivotal event in the history of the NFL.
Just When I Thought I Dropped My Last Egg: Life And Other Calamaties deals head on with issues of motherhood, career, marriage, aging (in front of and away from the cameras), and overcoming adversity-Gifford proves to us all that there is a whole new way to be fertile after 50. After all, it isn't only children that women give birth to-it's also inspired ideas, aspiring ventures and newly discovered interests. Heartfelt and hilarious, Gifford will make you laugh out loud as you reach for the phone to share these charming, quirky, and colorful observations.
All proceeds from this event will benefit the Avon Theatre and D.A.R.T., a charity aiming to cure Niemann-Pick Type C Disease.

TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 7:30 PM
ISABEL GILLIES
HAPPENS EVERY DAY:
AN ALL TOO-TRUE STORY
A Just Books' Event at Arcadia Cafe
20 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and Open to the Public
Just Books is pleased to welcome Isabel Gillies, known for her television role as Detective Stabler's wife on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and for her cinematic debut in the film Metropolitan. Gillies will introduce and sign copies of her new memoir, Hapens Every Day: An All-Too-True Story (Scribner, $25), which was recently chosen by Starbucks in its book program. Happens Every Day began as a note hastily typed out by Gillies on her BlackBerry during stolen moments at her kids' practices and on the bus. Finding herself typing away furiously on the tiny screen, it was clear to Isabel that she needed to get her story out, about her once wonderful marriage, husband and family, and her raw and urgent account of the events that transpired within her marriage. Gillies graduated from New York University with a BFA in film. She lives in Manhattan with her second husband, her two sons, and her stepdaughter.
