I'm Walking As Straight As I Can: Transcending Disability in Hollywood and Beyond is a new memoir that tells the powerful life story of actress/comedienne GERI JEWELL. Born with cerebral palsy, Jewell inspired a generation of young people when she became the first person with a disability to appear in a recurring role on prime-time television, making TV history on December 24, 1980, when she appeared on the NBC sitcom 'The Facts of Life.'
