"This is a nice companion to Bette's first book, "The Lonely Life," which she finished writing just before she did Baby Jane. She discusses her later years, her recovery from severe medical problems, and addresses her daughter's betrayal in writing a tell all book. This book is great for fans of Bette who are already familiar with her life and career, but is not recommended as an introduction to her."
"a good page turner that you can read in one afternoon... not as "un-juicy" as she says it is going to be; there is plenty of dirt in it. this book came out after her daughter wrote a scathing book about her, so she takes on a lot from that book here and tries to plead, a bit, with her daughter. she even poses with her secretary on the back cover, who it is obvious became a surrogate daughter for her after her real one bailed on her. it seems like she is rubbing this in her daughter's face... again, this is a movie star who is so complicated and "difficult" that i will probably have more luck reading a biography about her written by someone else than herself. she can't be trusted with her own history."
