Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother's dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called ';calorie restriction,' eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, ';Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn't tint hers?' She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail―just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series
