Helpful Score: 1

This entertaining book came out over 20 years ago and I had forgotten that I had once started reading this book and stopped when I read that she did LSD. However, I decided to forge forward this time and read her whole story. She really dished on the harsh realities of filmmaking and on the personal lives of the movie stars she knew. Her own personal life was really a mess with her marrying many times to men who used her money and fame and took advantage of her. I felt badly for her children who also suffered from her poor personal choices. However, it was fascinating to hear how her swimming movies were made and which stars could swim well (or not!) I am so glad that this book was written to capture her memories and personality and highly recommend this wonderful book.
