As the notorious Reva Shayne on the daytime television drama Guiding Light, Kim Zimmer portrayed a vixen, a manic-depressive, an Amish woman, a time traveler, a Civil War belle, a talk show host, a cancer survivor, a loving mother, and a devoted wife. In her more than two decades on the show, she earned eleven Daytime Emmy nominations and four wins, not to mention a legion of loving fans. Now, in this heartfelt memoir, Zimmer delves into her experiences as a daytime diva. Packed with on- and off-set photographs and behind-the-scenes information, blatantly honest and wildly indiscreet, I'm Just Sayin' tells all in an insightful journey through the parallel lives of Reva Shayne and Kim Zimmer--and the true stories behind the longest-running drama in television and radio history.… (meer)

I’m Just Sayin’!: Three Deaths, Seven Husbands, and a Clone! My Life on Guiding Light and Beyond by Kim Zimmer and Laura Morton is as spontaneous as Reva Shayne was on Guiding Light, and while most of the memoir is linear in nature, there are moments where the flashbacks are a bit out of sequence — though never hard to follow. Zimmer pulls no punches with her memoir and does not sugarcoat anything that happened in the latter years of Guiding Light, which experienced severe budget cuts and went downhill in terms of quality where production was concerned. On the flip side, she’s also willing to admit her mistakes and allowed her temper to get the best of her when she should have tried a more diplomatic approach when story lines and production were falling by the wayside.
Even more interesting were the early years in which she made some tough decisions about college and acting, when she met her soul mate (A.C. Weary), and when she put her family first and left Guiding Light the first time. She shares some acting techniques she learned, including substitution in which an actor uses real life images and memories as stand ins for the characters’ current situations. Zimmer didn’t find this effective, and in fact, found it very distracting. One of the most interesting things in the book was that she took the bus to the studio rather than have a car pick her up or driver herself to work in the early days, which some of her co-stars found odd. (I applaud her for using public transportation!)

My mother's favorite song was "Memory" from the Broadway musical Cats. She loved to make memories, so in her honor, and with love and appreciation to my dad, Jack; my sister, Karen; my husband, A.C.; and my beautiful children, Rachel, Max, and Jake, I dedicate this book.
