Kurzbeschreibung
Julia Phillips became a Hollywood player in the freewheeling 70s; the first woman to win the Best Picture Oscar as a co-producer of "The Sting". She went on to work with two of the hottest young directorial talents of the era: Martin Scorsese ("Taxi Driver") and Steven Spielberg ("Close Encounters of the Third Kind"). Phillips blazed a trail as one of the very few females to break into the upper echelons of a notoriosly chauvinistic industry. But, for all her success, Phillips remained an outsider in the all-male Hollywood club. She had a talent for deal-making, hard-balling and wise-cracking, and a considerable appetite for drink, drugs and sex. But while these predilections were tolerated and even encouraged among "the boys", Phillips found herself gradually ostracized. By the late 80s, she was ready to burn bridges and name names, and the result was this coruscating memoir of her career. Julia Phillips died in Jan 2002 at the age of 57, but her book should stand as one of the classic episodes of La-La-Land in all its excesses and iniquities.

I liked this book immensely. It's so lively, it's gotta be the meaning of a "fast read!" I just recommended it to a close friend who loved the book jacket and title. Yes, some of the references are esoteric but overall the book is superbly crafted. Like its author, YNELITTA is an acquired tase. Think of haute couture - just not for everyone. But great for film buffs who want real inside Hollywood stories. Served up with wit and flair.

As I read the negative reviews of this book I find that those who have posted them must come from the old fashioned world of reading. The world where everything must be written in a clear precise order so that thier little brains don't get confused along the way. Sure there are references to people in this book that are unexplained. That is how life is. Nobody can say they know absolutely every single person in one person's life. The writing is a clear insight to the woman behind the book. It is fast paced and inconsistent which is obviously how her mind works. As far as my opinion on this book goes I think it is one of the most profound books with some of the most intelligent sayings ever written. You don't have to be in showbusiness to understand it nor do you have to be interested. This is about a person's life in which any reader can associate on atleast one lever or another. To call it a tell all is absurd because it isn't a vicious attack on those mentioned. It is offered in a brutally honest way. This book is the equivalent to riding on an unseen roller coaster in the dark. If you have the stomach and brain for it then fasten your seatbelts and pray that the end won't come to soon.

After reading all of the reviews to date, I must say that I read this book shortly after it came out and found it informative and amusing. Hollywood is a strange place. I am sure that Julia Phillips took some "literary liscense" in her telling of the tale, but no one could write a book as comprehensive as hers without some sort of feeling or meaning. It is worth a read, especially for anyone enamored with the L.A. film life!

You'll never enjoy this book

What a pile of poo!
This book is like it's author: completely confused, self-centered, eaten by hatred and boring. The writing style is amateurish at best, trying far too hard to be original. Lesen Sie weiter...

Ugh
A better title for this book would've been _The Ego that Ate My Career!_. Like most drug addicts, the author is fundamentally selfish and shallow. Lesen Sie weiter...

Beautiful and compelling...
I'll keep it short... I know nothing about Hollywood... nor do I really care... this book, to my mind, if you read it a little closer, isn't just about who's doing who and what in... Lesen Sie weiter...

1 star is too high praise for this book
This book is the biggest waste of paper and ink I've ever read. The book purports to be an autobiography; it's actually written in third person and nobody but the author could... Lesen Sie weiter...

A book that's impossible NOT to put down
I bought this book hoping to find some juicy tales of Hollywood high-ups running amok, but the price is far too extravagant: wading through pages, if not chapters, of self-absorbed... Lesen Sie weiter...
