Cleary Has Her Own Book
Hey, Kerman is not the only one with a memoir! Actually, Cleary wrote about her experiences in Out of Orange. If you’re interested in the real story and not just the fictional relationship on the show, her autobiography is worth a read. Cleary said, “There are hints of reality in the show, and maybe I’m just seeing them because I want to see them so much, but there are things that make me think ‘Is Piper consulting on this? Is she telling them things?'”

While speaking with HuffPost Live, Cleary said, I’m flattered that they picked me out in her [Piper’s] life as such an interesting, charismatic character that they had to make a whole backstory about me. I never imagined I’d be Donna from That ’70s Show. When I watch that part of the series, I watch it as a viewer. I don’t say ‘that’s my life.’…The glasses were a dead giveaway [that Alex is me], so I immediately recognized it in the commercial. Taylor Schilling does a great job of being Piper. Piper’s a little less deer in the headlights, though.”
