Still a classic -- what the babe can tell you about her Hollywood!

Still a classic, Shelly Winters is one of a kind and she gives permission to many of us who consider ourselves characters-- deviating from the norm and being just a bit outrageous or even more than that. I almost forgot about this tape but I remember I gave it to my mom too. Enjoy life-- Shelly certainly did and probably still does!

Shelley II :The middle of my century

I absolutely loved this book. Shelley tells her wild and crazy story of an actor's life in the 1950's. This includes the intense and gratifying work of being an actress and the world famous people she worked with, socialized, lived with and loved. I can say that there is drama, tragedy, humor and love on almost every page. What an exciting life she lived and she's still a young beautiful woman at the end of this book. Buy this book today!!!

Bravo Shelley

I liked this even more then the firt memory book.It makes a light on all of a period and point of view, I do like to read about words different of mine.She is (was?) a hard worker, a survivor, and as she recognises in her book not always a nice person to be with. But I like her and was very interested in how she sees the world.

INDOMITABLE STAR CAN REALLY WRITE.

Though it can be argued that Shelley Winters has assisted in creating her own legend (her ego is the real star of both highly entertaining autobiographies), there is a real flair to her writing and her memory for details (even allowing for the usual embellishment) is impressive. Her place in cinema is probably in question; two Oscars was a bit generous and her seeming insistence that she deserved to win Best Actress for "A Place in the Sun" over Vivien Leigh's Blanche in "Streetcar" is merely laughable today. But she did produce an impressive body of work (and relationships) on screen and stage and deserves credit for being larger than life, a trait that some actress of today could take a lesson from. Ms. Winters takes pride in her work and the craft of acting, which is to also be applauded, and she never paints herself in an angelic light when not appropriate. Overall, these are among the very finest autobiographies of any kind, celebrity or non-. Is it too much to hope for a third act to these treasured volumes?
