I think this is a good example of how a person who needs help goes for therapy. This is not just about an actress and her famous career. She reveals how her parents abused her and what she had to do to cope. She used alcohol to excess. She loved to party. She did not marry wisely. She made a fortune as an actress then she lost it all. She lost friends and fame. Then she found God. After much therapy and a new way of life she found peace as a Christian and embraced the 12 Step program. I loved this book. Anyone who is struggling to discover the meaning of life while fighting their demons whether it be sex, drugs, alcohol or nihilism should read this book. Better still buy it and keep it among your favorites. Tell your friends to read it too. It's inspiring. Can I say it's 'awesome'?

Ultimately disappointing
I very much looked forward to this book, but was disappointed in it. It's pretty interesting until one gets to about the middle of the book. Astor discusses her alcoholism and conversion to Catholicism to the exclusion of all else. Probably more interesting as a record for those who are interested in the religious conversion of an alcoholic than those interested in the golden age of Hollywood.
