Dear Miss Gray,

Thank you very much for submitting your photograph to the Glamour girl search we are conducting.

I regret to say you are not the exact type of girl we are looking for. However we don’t want you to be discouraged at this point. Perhaps if you changed your make up a little and tried some experimenting with new hair stylings, you too might very well shape into something. Good Luck.

No one would argue now that Linda Gray, world-famous actress and star of the long-running television showDallas, has certainly shaped into something. She’s achieved success, beauty, and, most importantly, happiness—even if it only took 75 years to get there.

As the U.N. Goodwill Ambassador for over a decade, Linda worked in developing countries to promote women’s rights. The women she met taught her how to find joy in having nearly no material possessions, and yet having everything they need to be happy. After one trip, Linda returned home and as she stood in front of her (overflowing) closet, she was inspired to start shedding clothes, shoes, books, resentments, anger, and everything else that cluttered her life.

In Age-Free, Linda compiles a lifetime’s worth of tips and wisdom into a humorous and insightful guide for women through all the stages of life, and ultimately shares how to lead a fulfilled life by living simply. Reflecting the phases and actions of every woman’s life—share, shift, shock, shop, shed, shine, and so many more—Linda shows how you too can very well shape into something.

Linda Gray is an award-winning actress, an accomplished director, a former United Nations Ambassador, and one of the world’s most recognized and admired stars. Her portrayal of ‘Sue Ellen Ewing,’ in the original TV seriesDallas, brought her international fame and critical acclaim. The role also earned her an Emmy nomination for Best Actress, numerous international awards, and she was voted ‘Woman of the Year’ by The Hollywood Radio & Television Society. After eleven years as the #1 show on television, Dallas returned on TNT and proved again to be the #1 drama on cable TV.
