In new memoir, "Unscripted," actress Cheryl Hines reviews her acting career, her marriage to RFK Jr., and Trump

Nov. 12, 2025

Critics have faulted Actress Cheryl Hines for the selectivity with which she chose the subjects discussed in her new memoir, "Unscripted." She does pull back the curtain on some events, but the glimpses she downplays or ignores the controversies of the Trump administration and her husband's role in them. For example, she gives the row over vaccines short shrift. Hines also glosses over her husband's alleged infidelities.
