"Well-Written Memoir"
Faye Dunaway is one of the greatest American actresses of our lifetime. She has appeared in some of the most popular and successful films in Hollywood history from "Bonnie and Clyde" to "Chinatown", and she won the Academy Award in 1976 for her searing portrayal of a nasty network executive in "Network". She is also known for playing Joan Crawford in "Mommie Dearest", probably the greatest performance by someone playing a real-life figure.
In this stunning memoir Faye discusses her personal life, growing up in Texas, and her eventual jont to Hollywood where she made it big as an actress. Her films are discussed in detail and she doesn't hold anything back from the reader. Her battles with famed director Roman Polanski, who directed her in "Chinatown", is discussed, as well as her feud with Bette Davis who starred along with Faye in a 1976 TV movie. The most informative part of the book is her chapter on "Mommie Dearest" and how she states she should have never played Crawford. She writes on how hard the role was, a role that was her most challenging, and how she wished the director of that film would have held her back in her performance. It was "Mommie Dearest" that would eventually destroy Faye's career as she became typecast as a tough woman and Hollywood casting agents couldn't get Faye's portrayl of Crawford out of their minds.
Faye also talks about her failed TV series that she had on in the early '90's and how she wishes the network could have been more supportive of her and that show.
A well-written book and a page turner, "Looking For Gastby" is a must-read for anyone wanting to know anything about Hollywood history as well as info on a fine and talented actress.

Fabulous!
Being a long-time fan of Miss Dunaway, I bought this the day it was released and read it straight through when I got home.Frankly, I wasn't expecting much.I always got the impression she has no sense of humor, particularly about herself.I also figured she was writing this for the money, and it would be a typical take-the-money-and-run, say-nothing bland autobiography like most of the other celebrity junk that's out there.Boy was I wrong!While Miss Dunaway is certainly a very serious person, the book was pretty candid, the good and the bad, covering topics I didn't think she'd cover much like Mommie Dearest, Marcello Mastriani, her two marriages, etc.She covers it all pretty thoroughly and candidly.While this book is certainly not a "tell-all" or at the Shelley Winters level (thank goodness), it's pretty thorough.She also covers a lot of her early career, college, and her growing up in rural Florida, a lot of information you can't get from magazine articles or prior media materials about her.It was very, very well done, well written, and is obviously must-read material for any fan or someone interested in the premier actresses of her generation.You won't be disappointed.It also has some great photographs in the center section, and Terry O'Neill did the cover.Great stuff!

A lovely surprise
Not knowing quite what to expect, I was happy to read a very warm, candid story by an actor whose work I admire a great deal.As Dunaway told her story, I could not help but think that her body of work would stand side byside with those actors of her generation who are so glorified -- Beatty,Nicholson, et. al. That she is not appreciated in the same way as thoseactors explains her vulnerability all the more.After reading this book, Iwould definitely have her over for dinner.

Well-written, insightful and intelligent.
With startling honesty, Dunaway intimately details her fascinating life. The book does lapse into mild self-indulgence at times, but her introspection reveals an interesting mind. Her fierce determination and dedication is vividly depicted, hinting at the price she paid for stardom, as well as painting an interesting portrait of what it is to be a female actor of her calibre and over fifty in Hollywood today.

Faye Dunaway paints an impressionistic painting of her life
First of all, let me say that as "celebrity biographies" go,this is one of the better ones. Rather than produce a mere catalogue ofpeople, places, and events, Faye Dunaway gives her readers impressionisticpeeks into her life; her words are used like water-colored pastels tocreate a pleasing but not too controversial work. Although sheoveremphasizes pop-psychology explanations, Faye Dunaway still manages tobring her readers closer to Faye Dunaway the Woman and the Actress whilechipping away at Faye Dunaway the Icon. It's a nice compliment to her workon film. ... Read more

Product Description
Mommie Dearest is a 1981 American biographical drama film about Joan Crawford, starring Faye Dunaway. The film was directed by Frank Perry. The story was adapted for the screen by Robert Getchell, Tracy Hotchner, Frank Perry and Frank Yablans, based on the 1978 book Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford. The executive producers were Christina's husband, David Koontz, and Terrence O'Neill, Dunaway's then-boyfriend and soon-to-be husband. The film was a financial success, but a critical disaster and was strongly despised by Dunaway herself. However, it has become a cult classic. ... Read more

Excerpt: Angelina Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight; June 4, 1975) is an American actress. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. Jolie promotes humanitarian causes, and is noted for her work with refugees as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Though she made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in the 1982 film Lookin' to Get Out, Jolie's acting career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in Hackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed biographical films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999).

Excerpt: Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone; August 16, 1958) is an American recording artist, actress and entrepreneur. Born in Bay City, Michigan, and raised in Rochester Hills, Michigan, she moved to New York City in 1977, for a career in modern dance. After performing as a member of the pop groups Breakfast Club and Emmy, she released her debut album, Madonna, in 1983 on Sire Records. A series of hit singles from her next studio albums, Like a Virgin (1984) and True Blue (1986), established her as a pop icon. She pushed the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV. Her recognition was further raised by the film Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) which was widely seen as a Madonna vehicle despite her not playing the lead. Utilizing religious imagery in her fourth studio album Like a Prayer (1989), Madonna was praised by critics for her diverse musical productions while at the same time religious conservatives and the Vatican criticized her. In 1992, Madonna founded the Maverick corporation as a joint venture with Time Warner. The same year, she incorporated sexually explicit material in her work, with the studio album Erotica, the coffee table book Sex and the erotic thriller film Body of Evidence, all of which received ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=142056 ...
