Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Veteran celebrity biographer Shapiro limns superstar Sarandon and her activism simply and straightforwardly. Amadou Diallo, Ralph Nader, AIDS--Sarandon's an activist on all fronts and, according to Shapiro, always has been. When she was younger, civil rights and the Vietnam War were her passions, so the fact that she finds time for politics in between such engagements as having an affair with Louis Malle during the filming of Pretty Baby and shooting PC epics like Thelma and Louise should surprise no one. Shapiro takes us back even earlier, to Sarandon's childhood and attendance at an all-girl, all-white Catholic school; "I was asking all the wrong questions even back in the third grade," she told an interviewer in 1995. By the time she costarred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, she had overcome the whole idea of wrong questions. Moderately revealing, mildly scintillating, with enough movie guff to hold casual readers (e.g., what Tim Robbins is really like), this probably isn't the final word on Sarandon. Mike Tribby

From Library Journal
From the looks of Shapiro's body of work, he plies his trade writing mostly unauthorized biographies of "celebrities of the moment," such as Carlos Santana, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey, J.K. Rowling, and Freddie Prinze Jr. Though this is the first biography of Susan Sarandon, it has a mechanical quality, as if it were produced by a machine designed to cash in on a star's current success. Shapiro neatly charts Sarandon's growth from a strict Catholic childhood to accidental actress to activist, but the writing lacks eloquence, and little is here that can't be found in Current Biography and other secondary sources. In fact, the bibliography shows that Shapiro interviewed only one person, Ira Glasser of the American Civil Liberties Union. The rest of the quotes and stories come from previously published books and articles. Unless your patrons are clamoring for a biography of Sarandon, wait until she authorizes one or writes her own book. Rosellen Brewer, Monterey Cty. Free Libs., Salinas, CA

This Biography of Susan Sarandon Is the most wonderful book I've ever read.
Marc Shapiro has done a great job writing this book. It's shows all the sides of susan. You don't even have to be a Susan fan to like this book.Most people only know she's a great actress but she's so much more. She's a wonderful activist, a mother and a beautiful woman.

This book shows the life story of a never comparable beautiful woman.

Pulitzer-quality writing
15. März 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The fact that this title wasn't considered for the Pulitzer the year is came out is a sham. Susan Sarandon is hot, white hot. Trying to chronicle and describe her dynamic life is like trying to explain a unicorn to a blind man. You can try, but you'll both end up confused. Shapiro has this woman down! Those of you looking for nudity will be disappointed. I've read it 5x and each time I pick up on some of the allegory and subtleties that Shapiro mixes into the biography. Very skillful!
