A ferocious and fragile woman who unapologetically states: For better or for worse, I''m right here!' -Frank Langella 'If there is any adventure, from love to politics, that you feel you''ve missed in life, Lee Grant has had it for you-and describes it here with wit, honesty and all five senses.

You will want to be her friend, lover, child or student, and you will finish the final pages her ardent admirer. It's warm, it's touching and it's a book that speaks of the human experience-the wonders of it, the magic of it, the difficulties of it, the history of a life's unfolding, beautifully and brilliantly with purpose and with guts.' -Sidney Poitier 'Read this book-every juicy page! Lee has lived her life and practiced her craft with reckless abandon, bravery, honesty and ultimately brutal clarity. Now, out of nowhere, she has written a most wonderful book about her family and herself.

I have come to know her intimately in reading her book, and am so grateful for the experience.' -Vanessa Redgrave 'Having had the privilege to work with Lee Grant on the motion picture screen was truly a delight. Navasky, author of National Book Award-winning Naming Names 'Lee Grant came to know herself as a child, as an actress, as a woman and as a thinker. She has written the definitive tell-all about life on the blacklist and no one who cares at all about those dark days can afford not to read it.' -Victor S. An insightful, sharp Hollywood memoir that will appeal to fans and newcomers alike.' - Kirkus 'Lee Grant''s blacklist memoir is deliciously indiscreet. Booklist, STARRED review 'he resilience of career outlasted the 12-year period when she was blacklisted by HUAC for her political affiliationsâ€¦she became one of the most respected actresses of her generationâ€¦.Rife with appearances from some of Hollywood's biggest names, including an unsuccessful date with Marlon Brando, Grant's career proves that the elusive and oft-sought-after second chance can not only be had, it can be triumphantly redeeming. When she was jubilant after winning an Oscar for her supporting role in Shampoo, we know it when she was disgusted, as when a television network canceled her series without telling her, we know it, too and, of course, when she was dismayed and bewildered and depressed when she couldn't find work during her 12-year blacklisting, we know it for sureâ€¦.An excellent show-business autobiography. ' o-holds-barredâ€¦Grant doesn't make us read between the lines here it's all right there, on the page.
