About This Item
A tight and unmarked copy-" In an "intelligent, take-no-prisoners memoir" ("Entertainment Weekly"), Academy Award-winning actress Faye Dunaway writes candidly of her life, including her many affairs, her two marriages, her professional success, and her poignant failures of photos. From Publishers Weekly: Actress Faye Dunaway had a peripatetic childhood, bounced from Florida's flatlands to Germany, Texas, Utah, and back to Florida with a philandering army sergeant father and a mother who instilled in her a desire to be the best. Born Dorothy Faye, the struggling Broadway actress became a film star overnight in the mid-1960s. Through two marriages to J. Geils Band lead singer Peter Wolf, then to her manager, film producer Terry O'Neill and through love affairs with actor Marcello Mastroianni, director Jerry Schatzberg, and others, Dunaway struggled to balance her career and personal life and to overcome emotional patterns set during her rootless girlhood, which taught her "not to care too deeply." "In many ways," she writes, her father, John MacDowell Dunaway, "was my Gatsby. It's my love that transforms him. They say when Gatsby smiles at you, you feel as if he believes in you just as you would like to believe in yourself." For all its moments of disarming candor, this star-studded autobiography (written by New York Times Los Angeles correspondent Sharkey) remains a self-conscious, guarded performance. Photos. First serial to Cosmopolitan; author tour." Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
