NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this touching memoir, Academy Award-winning actress Shirley MacLaine "dishes up revelations and insights galore" (USA Today) about her career in Hollywood. "Robust, ribald stories . . . juicy."--People In the memoir that made headlines, Shirley MacLaine dazzles us with the subject she knows most intimately: Hollywood, especially about the men and women--her "lucky stars"--who touched and challenged her life. She talks candidly and personally about . . .
Her wildly unconventional marriage to Steve Parker
"As soon as [we met], I knew my life was to take a new course. . . . Our connection had the shock of destiny to it. ., . There was nothing I could have done to alter or avoid the experience we were intended to have together."
Her friendship with the Rat Pack--especially Frank Sinatra
"I was comfortable and friendly being around the guys in the group because I was perceived by most of them as a mascot. I was the only woman they allowed in the house, but that was because there had been a kind of communal decision made that I wasn't really a girl--I was a pal, maybe even one of the boys."
The movie she made with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis
"Dean, not Jerry, was the funny one to me. His humor was subtle, spontaneous--a result of the moment. Jerry's was brilliant, but usually premeditated."
And much, much more . . .
