A pleasant enough amble through the life of a great movie actor. A little too much of my lovely famous friends for me but contains enough insights into what it takes to be a movie star and movie actor to keep the interest going.
I loved this book. To me the structure felt like watching a stone being thrown high into the air, seeing it reach its apogee, gather speed and plummet back to earth.
Not an elegant, literary writer but a forceful, honest one. Some readers may not take to the digested self-analysis served up by Ms Fonda but I took it in the same vein that I think it was given - the desire to be honest about her life and the meaning she has made of it.
Made me want to go and watch all her films.
