Consider: Melissa Leo Is Writing a Memoir

Oscar winner and do-it-yourself campaign stalwart Melissa Leo is ready to become an author. The Fighter star will write a memoir about her life for Simon & Schuster with eyes on a release in 2013. "Melissa has a moving and gutsy story to tell, with a very happy ending," Simon & Schuster executive editor Priscilla Painton said. Here's hoping Kirk Douglas writes the forward.
