People of the Year — 14. René Syler

Let’s just say the year started badly for the Chappaqua resident. She’d just been fired without warning from CBS’s Early Show. Then, in January, she underwent a double mastectomy. And as if that weren’t enough stress, she then renovated her home. The 44-year-old rebounded quickly, though. After reconstructive surgery, her book Good Enough Mother came out in March. Before long she was talking to Oprah about the realities of imperfect parenting (serving pancakes for dinner, using a stapler to hem pants). Her so-called “imperfections� were, in reality, pretty harmless, but we were just glad to have her back on TV.
Prediction for 2008: Anthony LaPaglia’s production company has optioned her book as a sitcom. A casting suggestion: For the lead, try Wanda Sykes—an actress with enough brio to be Syler.
