She’s also narrating the audio edition. Spencer’s “The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit” comes out Oct. 15. IT’s the first of two planned books for middle schoolers that feature 12-year-old vigilante Randi Rhodes. In a statement released Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013, by publisher Simon & Schuster, Spencer said that her background as an actress helped her bring her story “to life” on tape.(AP Photo/Chris Carlson)

(Daily Mail) – Octavia Spencer shocked and angered hundreds of fans at a recent book signing, acting like an ‘ungrateful b****,’ say eyewitnesses who were so incensed with the actress’s behavior they stormed out and demanded refunds.

The 44-year-old Academy Award winner, who won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Minnie Jackson, a maid, in ‘The Help,’ and is currently starring in the film ‘Insurgent,’ was at Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Grove in Los Angeles last week to autograph copies of her children’s book ‘Randi Rhodes Ninja Detective — The Sweetest Heist in History.’
