Katey Sagal, four-time Golden Globe Award nominee for Married With Children, who finally won a Globe for Sons of Anarchy, writes in her new book, Grace Notes: My Recollections, out Tuesday: The magical part about winning is that, if you have a Globe award in hand, you can talk to anyone, and everyone wants to talk to you.

Sarah [her daughter] wanted to meet Colin Firth, and so we did. Dame Helen Mirren talked to me like we were old friends, even though wed never met. Anne Hathaway chased me down and leapt into my arms, letting me know how happy she was to see me.

Sagal blames growing up in Los Angeles for an attitude toward drugs that led to a 15-year addiction to diet pills, cocaine and alcohol. When I was 12, we lived on the same block as Judy Garland. Her daughter Lorna Luft and I became neighborhood buddies. Lornas mom had a lot of pills on her bedside table and slept past noon just like my mom. We hung tight. And, of course, I thought everyones mom took a lot of pills.

Before becoming an actress, Sagal was a singing waitress. I could get your order wrong, spill blue cheese dressing on your lap, whisper what an a-hole you were, and then pick up my guitar or go to the piano and sing you an awesome rendition of Brown Eyed Girl.
