The reply he gave when told of the book,whose reply?, who do you think,all in hearsay of course, but i believe it.Maclaines current outing is quite enjoyable really, apart from when she takes of into phycobabble,boring,in other tomes,too serious to be a good storyteller,suprisingly in this she is different,couldve dropped a few more juicy titbits,she has probably seen it all,her tales of the mafia are fasinating,that dry detached realism of hers,really suits such a subject maybe she should write a book about them sometime,but her insights into sinatra are truly fasinating,actually they are confusing,was she cutting his throat,or what,this is what baffles me,on one page calling him god,on another icily tearing him asunder,for to sinatra disloyalty,was the greatest sin of all,what i would not have given to be a fly on the wall of a reasturent, when mclaine walked in and met him after this.

I'm never quite sure what to think of Shirley MacLaine -- I've enjoyed many of her movies, yet she can prattle on and on regarding various subjects. So I found her biography surprisingly enjoyable. The worst parts: analysis of what it means to be an actor, a star, a resident of Hollywood. These passages tend to ramble. The best parts: Lengthy chapters on professional relationships with such people as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. And for those wary of her work with metaphysics, she keeps this book firmly focused on Hollywood. Overall, MacLaine shares many stories that provide insights into what it means to be a movie star. Judging by this fact only, the book is successful.
 Witty, candid and eloquent - without the Hollywood schmaltz! July 2, 1999

Ms MacLaine's latest autobiography is informative, entertaining, witty and revealing- without being overly self-indulgent. MacLaine's own brand of self-mockery and mirth fills each and every page winning the reader over immediately. You may not be a fan yet - but you will be.
