Review this book!
On Nov 3, 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said
Academy Award winning actress, Ellen Burstyn, unabashedly reveals herself at every level, professionally, personally, and spiritually, in this all encompassing autobiography, her debut work. She covers the intricacies of a lifetime's search for, herself; with a frankness of honesty rare to be found in Hollywood. She begins with her leaving home at eighteen to become a model, and intimately details her early failed marriage, a long list of lost relationships, fruitless jobs, and countless moves crisscrossing the country, until she landed finally in New York and became the lead in a major Broadway play with her very first audition. Moving on to L.A., her interests turned to Hollywood and motion pictures, to become one of the era's renowned actresses. Unlike many of the Hollywood set, Ms. Burstyn's life has been an open-minded -- and more importantly -- open-hearted effort toward self-realization. It has taken her on a magnificent and extraordinary path, from the streets of New York, to Cambodia, to the Swiss Alps, to the Himalayas, and more. This is an ultimately captivating story ... that's not over yet!
