Behind The Pages Of Actress Dee Wallace's 'Bright Light'

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Actress Dee Wallace is releasing her third book "Bright Light." She stopped by KCAL9 Tuesday to spill secrets behind the pages of her new novel.

Thirty years ago, Dee Wallace, a gifted young actress from Kansas, dropped into Hollywood with hopeful expectations.

Two years later she landed the role of a lifetime as "Mary," the smart, funny young mother in "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial."

But in the three decades since her first day of work on the film that became an instant touchstone for a generation of filmgoers, those questions have been answered, and in her new book.

Wallace shares not only her unique story, but also the wisdom that can help each of us rekindle and nurture the light that guides us home to ourselves and keeps every spirit burning strong and bright.
