Felicity Huffman turns author with A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend. USA TODAY’s Deirdre Donahue talked to the Desperate Housewives star about the book, which offers guys tips on everything from dating to male underwear.
1. You co-wrote the book with producer Patricia Wolff. How did that happen?
“We’ve been best friends for 20 years, and we’ve always had these big conversations that revolve around men. When you have children, you stop seeing your girlfriends as much, so this project was great.”
2. Writing which chapters cracked you two up the most?
” ‘Sex’ and ‘All Women are Crazy.’ ”
3. The handbook describes some really bad male behavior. Fact or fiction?
“Every example we used is true but the names have been changed to protect the innocent. We both included ex-boyfriend horror stories.”
4. You’re married to actor William H. Macy. Did he ask you to take stuff out?
“Yes! He thought some of the sexual overtones were too shocking.”
5. Stephen Colbert refers to you and your husband as “Filliam H. Muffman.” Are you going to go on his show to promote your book?
“I love Stephen Colbert, but I’m scared to go near him.”
