Here is a charming autobiography written for children although fans of all ages will treasure this book. Lovely artwork of young Lillian and Dorothy highlight this charming little memoir that any silent movie fan will adore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, January 20, 2005
This review is from: An Actor's Life for Me! (Hardcover)
We found this book in a bag by the side of the road on our way home from somewhere one day. We tried to return the bag to its owner, but the people who lived at the address in the bag said that it didn't belong to them. So we kept the things in the bag, including this absorbing story.

When I first read it, I didn't even know who Lillian Gish was! But this turned out to be a great book that I've read more then once. It talks about Lillian's life as an actor, back in the early days. Described are mistakes on stage, traveling around the country, hard times, and shining moments. Some may think that the book is simply an ordinary biography that does anything but pull you in and keep you turning pages. But "An Actor's Life For Me" is not only educational, but fun! Lillian Gish truly had a tough life sleeping on benches or on floors while traveling, and acting away from her family for so long.

Overall, this was a great book! It really got into the absorbing little details that keep you wondering. I recommend it.
