Good in Fair jacket. 256 pages. Illustrations. Appendix: Fact Sheet. Awards. DJ has wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. Embossed stamp of previous owner on Dedication page. Plate signed by Loretta and Helen on the Dedication page. All copies reported as signed thus. Loretta Young (born Gretchen Young; January 6, 1913-August 12, 2000) was an American actress. Starting as a child actress, she had a long and varied career in film from 1917 to 1953. She won the 1948 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the 1947 film The Farmer's Daughter and received an Oscar nomination for her role in Come to the Stable in 1949. Young moved to the relatively new medium of television, where she had a dramatic anthology series, The Loretta Young Show, from 1953 to 1961. The series earned three Emmy Awards and was rerun successfully on daytime TV and later in syndication. In the 1980s, Young returned to the small screen and won a Golden Globe for her role in Christmas Dove in 1986. Here is the frank, personal revelation of a glamorous actress--Hollywood's most awarded star. Upon a canvas of rich autobiographical incident, this portrait discloses the dreams and disappointments, the weaknesses and the strength of a radiant woman who group, in and with Hollywood. Its studio stages are her "home town."
This book, very much like her TV series, is how she aspired to be. She only mentioned the failings if she gained from them. She made everything seem as if it was all happy and wonderful, and her life was not, even at the time she was writing the book. It made me want to read the other biography - "forever young." which had much more of her personal life, and her personal struggles. She still was a wonderful person, and the book gives a glimpse of what she wanted her life to be and how she wanted people to think of her.
