Engrossing memoir of a tortured, complicated woman.......2003-10-10
This book is not only my favorite autobiography, but it's also one of my favorite books of any genre. Francis Farmer, the infamous movie star who ended up institutionalized, was a tortured woman. This autobiography, which she wrote shortly before her death, is an extremely well-written, brutally honest, and mostly unflattering self-portrait. She tells of her relationship with her controlling and insane mother (who committed her), her unintentional rise to fame in Hollywood (she wanted to be a theater actress, and found Hollywood mostly empty), her emotional breakdowns, run-ins with the law, drinking problems, loveless marriages, and her time spent in a horrific state mental institution. Despite it all, Francis Farmer doesn't seem to feel a lot of self-pity, and she admirably takes responsibility for much of what happened to her. What really makes the book touching is Francis' description of what ultimately saved her: her friendship with Jean Radcliffe (who published the book after Francis died). Toward the end of her life Francis was able to find a lot of love and happiness, mostly due to the unconditional support she received from Jean and her family. This makes the book not only a juicy tale of a fallen Hollywood star and a disturbing memoir of a mental hospital, but an ultimately inspiring story about the healing power of love and friendship.
Five BIG Stars!!!.......2003-09-03
If you're looking for a book that will keep you interested from cover to cover, never able to put it down, this is the book for you! This is the autobiography of movie star, Frances Farmer, and her demise. It tells of her nightmarish mother (I found myself wanting to hurt her mother more than Frances herself wanted to), her tirades and outlandish temper, her many terrible years in a pit hole of mental institution where she was mistreated and abused and treated like an animal (literally), her struggle with drug and alcohol abuse and her experience with cancer. Whew! All in one book! There were times when I had to divert my eyes (which made it difficult to read) or set it down because I was ready to slap her mother around and my blood pressure was rising.
The most incredible thing about this story is, I believe, that Frances was fair. By that I mean that she told the story as it was and didn't make herself out to be completely blameless or less "violent" than she was. She told about her outbursts and her stupid behavior made from no-thought decisions. She never said, "Poor me," without adding something more justifiable to the pot.
The reading is incredibly easy. Her style (and that of the one who helped her write it) is very smooth and it seems as though everything she has to say is written in an interest-grabbing way.
So, if you want a good, heart-felt, blood stirring read, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It truly is one of the best I've been lucky enough to find. :o)
good but..........2003-05-22
I finished this book a couple of days ago. I enjoyed it. The portions of the book where she tries to raise public awareness of the conditions in asylums have not aged gracefully, they're simply preaching thats irrelevant to my life. Also, near the end of the book she's really gushy about her "turnaround", and she pushes her point way too much.
Besides those two minor complaints, it was the best autobiography I've ever read.
Civil Rights for the Mentally Ill.......2001-10-10
This is a very important work as it documents the abuses of the mental health industry in America during the time Frances Farmer stayed in a psyciatric institution in the 1940's. It is frightening as Frances tells us that anybody can declare someone is insane, and this person could be brought before an unsympathetic judge and sent to an insane asylum, and once you are declared mentally incompetent, all your civil rights are stripped from you, and you have no say so in the matter. Reading Frances's book, you see that perhaps she wasnt really insane but tired from overwork & in need of rest. By reading this book you will also be shocked of the methods of controlling the mentally ill at that time; endless shock treatments, hydrotherapy, insulin therapy - and you sometimes wonder who the insane people are, Frances or the people who are caring for her. A book like this is important because it chronicles how such a thing could have happened to a person, especially a person like Frances who was gifted & intelligent & had everything going for her. Thankfully, treatment of the mentally ill has much improved since then, but I still hear people say that the mentally ill homeless should be locked up. After reading this book you would have second thoughts about saying such a thing.
Great, but I think the author was an idiot.......2000-06-02
frances farmer was not insane. She was thrown into a nut house because her mother was vengefull and hated her daughter for being disobedient(even tough her daughter was 30 and under no obligation to obey her mother). It also brings to light the fact that anyone could have a family member commited simply by signing the commotment papres or paing a doctor to declare you insane. Nowadays its much more difficlt to force someone into a mental hospital. but I think that the author could have done something to get her self out of the nut house, and she was such an asshole that nobody wanted to help her. She spent her time getting drunk(when she could have been escaping into Canada, but she just wouldnt get in the lifeboat, as they say.

should have hired a writer to help her.......2007-08-12
While I liked the book enough to finish it, the writing was very poor and the time line all over the place. Sad story of an insecure star who has so much beauty and talent that went to waste while she looked for love in men who were selfish and addictive. Honestly, can't recommend the book unless you are big fan of hers.
Just Another Autobiography From An Ageing Hollywood Actress.......2005-04-21
One does tend to feel a little sorry for MacGraw after reading this book. It seems that she spent most of her adult life in search of another cold , unavailable man or the next drink.One gets the impression that she was a "Professional Victim" for a great portion of her life. She made one memorable movie in her entire acting career, "Love Story" which was made in 1970 and has dated badly due to it's sickly sweet sentimentalism.There are a host of other Hollywood autobiographies out there which are written better. Perhaps somebody should tell Ms. MacGraw that "Love means never having to say you are sorry for being a drunk". I give this book 5 stars for Ms. MacGraw's valiant attempt to remind the American Movie Going Public that she is still around and is now finally, sober according to this book.
Ali should have hired a Ghostwriter.......2005-02-24
This book never sold very well because it was written as a self psychotherapy. Although honest and direct, it simply isn't very entertaining to read. Ali is a good writer and writes about her life more accurately and convincingly than any ghostwriter could, but the flipside is that her writing comes as bit troubled and depressing.
The best part of the book is about her relationship with Steve McQueen. It is amply clear that Steve was the love of her life, but unfortuantely also the greatest source of pain in her life.
I read this book 14 years after it was initally published. I had only recently watched "Love Story" for the first time and I had instantly become Ali's fan. And for those who are also her fans, this book is a must read, as it provides a close analysis of her character and history.
Looking at her life, I wonder if Ali's life would have been 10 times better and more stable if she had only stuck to her first husband, who incidentally graduated from Harvard and came from a prominent wealthy family (Oliver Barret clone?).
Ali is not only beautiful, but extremely intelligent (Wellesly grad). She is, however, highly insecure in deep need of acceptance. Combined this with her restlessness, and she has predictably lived a life of constant flux and torment. I hope she has finally found her peace.
A truthful account from the 70's megastar.......2005-02-10
A well-written book from a woman who seemingly "had it all". From her movies including "Love Story", to her marriages to two of Hollywood's most popular and powerful men at the time (producer Evans and MEGASTAR McQueen), this autobiography keeps you interested from the beginning. I finished reading it in one day - I couldn't put it down! At the end of it all, the reader gets a sense of not only Ms. MacGraw's personality and intense feelings, but also of the spiritual and emotional journey she has undergone. It's often brutally honest, and delightfully so; from her addiction to men, alcohol and sex, to her deep love for her son, MacGraw lets herself go and allows us to see her - imperfections and all. It's now been almost 15 years since this was released, and all I can say is that I hope there's a sequel to come.
THE 70'S ICON SPEAKS.........2000-08-25
The woman who moved us all to tears in love story, and to me, was the essence, the quintessential woman of the 1970's, has put together a seriously honest, and sometimes wonderfully blunt, memoir of her life, and all i can say now, after 10 years since this book was published, "Where is the sequel, Ali?"i have never in my life finished a book during my daily commute in only 3 days, which is about 7 hours!very fascinating reading, especially the Steve Mcqueen chapter. This woman does something no other actress can even come across as, a loving mother, a devoted wife, and finally, human. Her beauty and this book, like her, is now timeless..heavily reccomended reading!!

Must Have.......2006-01-30
This book should be in every Pre-code and early Hollywoood film buff's library. Want to know about Helen Chandler, Donald Cook, James Dunn, Sally Eilers and Mitzi Green? How about Kay Johnson, Chester Morris, Roger Pryor, Lee Tracy, and Helen Twelvetrees? Covers the careers and bios of 71 stars of the 1930's, some forgotten, some famous. Although this book was written before the term "Pre-code Hollywood" became widely used, it includes many of that era's key players. It even has a chapter on "Skeets" Gallagher!

Not Disappointed.......2006-04-30
I found Ms. Winters can write as well as she can act. I felt badly for her father. Her family was a great support to her.
RIP.......2006-01-18
A bigger than life talent, Ms. Winters was a mammoth personality. This biography successfully chronicles her many tastes and serves up a piping hot tribute to her gargantuan film legacy. Ms. Winters suffered no fools and hated juvenile attempts at humor. For that, I will always remember her fondly.
An outstanding show-biz memoir .......2006-01-15
Shelley Winters was one of the most outstanding character actresses of her generation. She was also a human - being of tremendous warmth, ambition, and moxie. In this chronicle of her early years she tells the story of her professional and personal life with a great deal of zest and flavor. She will not get an A for personal modesty or keeping the strictures of traditional morality, but she does get an A as being a person of great insight and caring for others. The story of her first marriage and those early years I found moving and sad.
A person who seemed to entertain in whatever she did-she provides here too a very entertaining piece of literature.
Who cares if it's true or not?.......2000-04-25
This book is one of the most entertaining autobiographies I have ever read. I have heard many reviews saying how this book is full of lies, etc, but I didn't care. One of the first things Ms. Winters writes in the book is that this was her life how SHE remembers it, and that it may not be all correct, but people remember things the way they want. Take this as truth or fiction; either way it is a great look at a young girl's rise to fame in 1940s and 50s Hollywood. It gave me insight into the post-war Hollywood machine, and what it was like to be an up-and-comer surrounded by these big-name stars. Ms. Winters' style is casual, as if she was writing it to each reader personally. If any of this interests you, definatly get your hands on a copy.
deliciously salacious!.......2000-03-10
My wife read me parts of this book while we were driving on a long trip. I found it very entertaining and well written, and am surprised that it is out of print already. One may not agree with her opinions and lifestyle, but she's had an interesting life doing it HER way, and is one helluva good writer.

FIVE STARS FOR ANTHONY SUMMERS!.......2006-12-28
WOW! As an avid reader of Marilyn Monroe books I have finally stumbled across the most in-depth and personal account of this truly unique woman. I finished this book in 3 days! It's an absolute page turner and you are sure to discover many things that will shock you. By the end of the book I was emotionally attached to Marilyn. The very last chapters will leave you in desperate longing to help Marilyn, yet in utter frustration with her and everyone in her life. Why such a tragic ending for an immaculate screen goddess? The real tragedy is that she never realized the consequences of her actions. Her lifestyle- non-stop drugs & sexual promiscuity- destroyed any ounce of hope & future that was awaiting her. This book teaches many lessons and unfortunately, the most beautiful woman in the world lost her life in the process. Then there's the question of her death being a murder. - I hope that one day the truth comes out so that dignity and respect can finally be given to woman who was stripped of everything during her lifetime, but her soul. *A Hollywood drama till the very end.*

Pulitzer for Research!.......2005-09-24
I bought this book after reading the 2005 LA Times story of the police medical examiner who believes Monroe did not kill herself. He believes she was administered a morphine overdose by suppository. Also, the psychiatrist who was very close to Monroe at her death and was criticized for this closeness believed the same theory. In the LA Times article, this book was mentioned as a definitive journal of her life and death. Also, it alluded that the psychiatrist's statements were shared with this author and in this book. Therefore, on that recommendation that this was the definitive Marilyn Monroe book, I felt a need to understand and investigate her life and death.
I was not disappointed. I remain absolutely amazed at the completeness of the research involved in this book. Be forewarned this is not a short read. But it is well worthwhile. He completely documents disagreements in sources and presents clearly his beliefs based upon the research. An important fact from early and mid-life that I had never seen emphasized was exactly how few movies she made at the end of her life, something like only 5 in the last 10 years. In my 52 year lifetime, Marilyn clearly had the most unique combination of sex and innocence that drew people in. It's difficult to describe her appeal. Probably closest would be Pamela Anderson who unfortunately feels the need to wear massive make-up hiding the very attractive wholesome girl she was when initially discovered. Much like Marilyn.
But where this book is at its best is describing the DiMaggio/Miller marriages, the many close friendships late in her life and what they expose about her potential suicide, the Kennedy relationships and ultimately her death. These story lines are so engrossing that it is difficult to put the book away for the night but the book is such a time commitment that it's not the type to be read in a few hours.
I cannot stress how detailed is the research on the last three years of her life including Sinatra, Lawford and the Kennedys. Based upon all the exhaustive research, I still believe this was a suicide. She had tried too many times before and sadly, was totally addicted to narcotics. What is more interesting is her relationship with the Kennedy's. But would they really have been involved in foul play when at that time the press ignored politician affairs? Marilyn's life is a great tragedy and this book does a fabulous job of summarizing. I strongly recommend this book if you have any interest in this icon. Be forewarned. This is not a quick weekend read but well worth the hours spent.
Possibly the most complete that it can get.......2003-03-26
There will never be "the definitive" Marilyn Monroe biography without the intimate contributions of husbands No. 2 and 3, Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. Even if the fabled playwright shares publicly his life with filmdom's eternal goddess, DiMaggio never did and, obviously, never will. Still, this contribution by Anthony Summers, first published in 1984, may be as close as it gets. In his acknowledgements, Summers claims a near-obsession that consumed almost two years of his life. Little wonder: he claims and minutely credits and cites more than 600 subjects who were interviewed in the course of his research. About the only criticism that can be lodged is the book's title. Implying we're about to read nothing more than the sexual conquests of the world's most famous woman of her time, we instead get a thoroughly comprehensive life history that begins even before her birth June 1, 1926, and continues well beyond her death that swelteringly hot August night in 1962. In between, thanks to Summers' prose and sources whose claims were checked and rechecked for confirmation, we get something that few other writers have achieved, much less attempted: a psycho-biograhy that explains the reasons for the legendary insecurity that Norma Jean Baker could never quite overcome even as the world's most desired woman. Even in his passages about the amazing but all-too-short film career, Summers manages to keep us focused on Norma Jean and her reality behind the facade that was Marilyn. Of course, Summers has to deal with his subject's still conroversial death, and "The Candle Burns Down," the segment of the book that centers on Monroe's final days, is so detailed that Summers' own explanation for Marilyn's death sounds as plausible as any theory posited. No, he doesn't buy into the theory that she was murdered by the mob or Kennedy operatives, but that her death was an accidental overdose of Seconals. But Summers does submit that Monroe was cruelly exploited sexually and passed sexually from one Kennedy brother to the other, one the president and the other the attorney general, and that it was Robert Kennedy who found the overdosed star in her home and arranged for the ambulance to the hospital and, after her death en route, covered up his involvement with the help of brother-in-law Peter Lawford. Summers' exhaustively researched finished product distinguishes itself from most other Monroe books in that he doesn't exploit his subject's insecurity and private demons or sexual prowess. Instead, Monroe is treated here with dignity and respect and, in the end, we are left with the feeling that we have read Norma Jean's life history, not that of a creation named Marilyn. And it is on Norma Jean's fears that prevented her alter-ego from recognizing her own worth as both a person and actress that accounts for the legend that is Marilyn Monroe. Summers' book is an important contribution to the literature that seeks to explain and understand the fragile psyche of this truly and tragically wounded soul.
Great book.......2003-01-26
Great book : reliable, serious, honest. That brilliant journalist succeeds in giving us a correct image of the Marilyn's life.
However he shouldn't have shown a photograh of her dead : she has the right to be respected in death.

For hardcore Marilyn fans.......2002-08-28
I read this book back in high school when it first came out in hardcover (I'm really dating myself here). Back then I was a Marilyn Monroe fanatic. Every book, movie, poster, magazine, or collectable I could find, I bought.
I must say that I'm still a huge Marilyn fan and have well over 50 books written about her. To this day, Goddess is still the best written, most profound, well meant, and indepth attempt of portraying her story. If you call yourself a Marilyn fan, then there is no question about it. You must read this book.
Witnesses, documents, and photos (including her heartbreaking autopsy photo) will add to the text and leave you breathless.
Book Description
Mr. Schulberg was raised in the Hollywood of the 1920s as the privileged son of a pioneer studio mogul. As a book on the early days of the movies in Hollywood--their triumphs and fiascos, their scoundrels and heroes--his candid memoir is hard to beat. A fascinating and significant contribution to American social history. --Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

He Couldn't Go Wrong.......2007-02-10
"Follow your Dad!" Adolphe Menjou, well-known movie star of the 1930s and 40s instructed young Budd Schulberg, as he gave the boy his autograph. And it wasn't a bad idea: Dad was B.P. Schulberg, $11,000 a week -- way back then -- head of Paramount, Hollywood's second biggest dream factory. The kid's Dad was Menjou's boss. Dad was, in fact, the boss of Clara Bow, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, and a cast of thousands. But young Budd already knew his destiny lay elsewhere: he was going to write. And write he did: "What Makes Sammy Run?" and "The Harder They Fall" are only two of the titles on his crowded shelves. "Moving Pictures: Memories of a Hollywood Prince," Schulberg's account of his earliest years, joined them years ago.
Successful, powerful, sensitive, intelligent father: determined-to-succeed, sensitive, intelligent son. Father began his career as a writer; son was bound to write. It's got to be a tale of some conflict and drama, even if you ignore eminent psychiatrist Sigmund Freud's famous Oedipal theory: son must, at least psychologically, kill father if he's to succeed. And who would dare ignore Freud, when Mom, Ad Schulberg, third point of the Oedipal triangle, was one of that psychiatrist's earliest, most powerful, and most insistent popularizers?
So Schulberg has a good story to tell. And he has some of the world's most glamorous stars, a cast of thousands, the notoriously nasty doings of Hollywood's early tycoons with which to flesh out the oldest story of father/son/love/hate. He sometimes goes on a little too long, but how could he go wrong?
A 'must' for any film buff.......2003-09-11
The author was raised in the 1920s as the privileged son of a pioneer studio mogul in Hollywood but earned fame in his own right as a distinguished novelist and playwright. His autobiography is not only about his life and achievements: it traces changes he's observed in the Hollywood industry over the decades, comments on characters and ironies beyond the Hollywood stage, and includes plenty of rare photos to top off his presentation. A 'must' for any film buff.
"Hollywood" by Budd Schulberg.......2000-07-12
In addition to being an accomplished novelist (What Makes Sammy Run), Schulberg is the son of the Late B.P. Schulberg who was head of production of Paramount Pictures in its early days. This book is his reminiscence about the silent and early sound days of Hollywood, by someone who was there, hobnobbing with people at the top. It's a fascinating insider account, made all the better by the excellence of Schulberg's writing. If you like books about the early days of Hollywood, don't miss this one.
Don't Stop Now!.......2000-03-29
To gain a true feeling of what it was like to be in on the ground floor of the motion picture industry, you must read this book. Mr. Schulberg, a gifted writer, is the son of B.P., who was with such notables as Adolph Zukor and L.B. Mayer as they created the dream factories. As the reader, you are given access to the back lots and inner sanctums of Paramount and MGM as Budd and his friend Maurice Rapf (Harry's son) play on the sets on the backlot, and you are also priviliged to join Budd's family at the dinner table for a more personal view. This book is excellent reading for the serious film student/buff as well as an entertaining read for anyone, since Mr. Schulberg uses a light narrative style and has a well developed sense of humor. The only complaint I can offer is that the book ends when Mr. Schulberg is around 20, and his own best work is yet to come! The reader is so involved that it is jolting to come back to this time. A 'must have'.

What a man! They don't make them like him anymore!.......2001-01-10
As you can tell, I am a big Gable fan. Alas, he died the year I was born. I bought this book about a year ago at a used bookstore in Orlando, Florida and love it. There is a wonderful foreward by Charles Champlain followed by an informative and interesting biography of Clark and then two reminiscences of people that knew him before he became a superstar. One memoir is by a woman named Franz Dorfler who loved him deeply. Following Dorfler's fond recollection, we read one by Paul Fix, who recalled the days Gable was a stage actor. It is intriging to see Gable through two people that knew him well long before he became the indisputed King of Hollywood. The book has beautiful, big, black and white photos on nearly every page. It also details every film he was in, from his bit part in small films to the classic films of the thirties and forties, example, "Mutiny on the Bounty", "Gone with the Wind", "It Happened One Night", "Adventure" etc. For anyone out there who is a Gable fan of any degree, this is a MUST to own. I refer to it often, sometimes just to stare at his beautiful face and masculine build. It's definetly a keeper!
A must for all Gable fans!.......1998-02-02
I've seen a lot of Gable filmographies, but this one is definitely the best. Great photos, too. Get it if you can!

I already knew most of the facts, but it's the type of book that you just buy to swoon over the photos of Clark. He's the best actor ever! There's sections for all his movies and Broadway performances, complete with photos and reviews. He's just so gorgeous!

The eyes of Bette Davis.......2007-09-29
I am not crazy about this book because it seems to be an apparent attempt for B. D. to cash in on her mother's famous name. The book describes how Bette was an unsympathetic and uncaring mother over the years and how B. D. had to "take care of her." Is this really true? I have no idea. Was the book interesting? Yes, parts of it were.
Before I read this book I was never too crazy about Bette Davis. Am I the only one that thinks she always looked and sounded so haggard and tired in all of her pictures? But after reading it I have a new understanding of Bette. She wasn't concerned with Hollywood or with all the glitz. She just wanted to be an "actor." Maybe that was what meant the most in the end.
Fascinating.......2007-09-16
Although I think Bette Davis was a fine actress, she obviously had a very hard time with relationships and it's sad that her daughter had to suffer. You can tell that the author (daugher B. D. Hyman) loved her mother through it all. It gives us insight into Bette's psyche.
Let Me Just Say This . .. ........2007-08-29
I love all of these amateur psychiatrists diagnosing NPD. Apparantly Joan Crawford suffered from this same disease - I read all about it in the reviews for "Mommie Dearest". No one can definitely say what went on in the home of Bette Davis. Even if B.D. speaks the truth - there are 2 sides to every story & her book would be a pretty boring read if she didn't try to stir up some dirt. I don't think Bette Davis was a perfect mother - but I do believe she loved her daughter and did the best she could. Bette was a great actress - and that would undeniably take a toll on other areas of her life so I believe that B.D. probably suffered for it but not to the extent that she claims in "My Mother's Keeper." At the end of her life Bette didn't have a vast fortune to bestow on any of her children - that is why Bette worked up until the end - she was in constant need of money. She supported her Mother, her sister, maintained her daughter Margo's care, and eventually supported B.D.'s family. B.D. needn't have waited until Bette's death for an inheritence that would never come. I am of the impression that B.D. felt the need to soil her mother's name and in the midst of Bette's illness to make a buck. I do think that B.D. should drop it already - if you go to her website she is still preaching about her controlling mother - how can you preach forgiveness if you yourself can't forgive? Why doesn't she just get on with her life already?
B.D. Hyman--Sold Her Mother Out for $$$$$$$$$.......2007-06-16
Well well well...B.D. Hyman--say Amen, folks! The woman who seems never to have had a real job in her life, along with her leech-like husband Jeremy--tears her mother apart with this sensation-seeking piece of muck raking.
Bette Davis was not an easy woman to deal with--I think anyone with a brain in their head could figure this out. Highly strung, neurotic, and probably an alcoholic, she was demanding to the point of torture. B.D. and Jeremy, however, b***ch and moan about what a witch she is, but still had their hands out ready to take any cash she offered. If you would like a good laugh, read Narrow Is the Way, B.D.'s follow-up book detailing how they ran away to the Bahamas when creditors started chasing them in the U.S.. B.D. now runs an evangelical ministry--snigger snigger--you can give her money--cash, credit card or check--and she'll pray for you.
