Demi Moore: The Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood (Paperback)

~ Nigel Goodall (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Although she hasn't had a blockbuster recently, Demi Moore undeniably ranks high among the Hollywood elite. Now, big-name biographer Nigel Goodall (Winona Ryder; etc.) presents Demi Moore: The Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood. Goodall never interviewed Moore for the book, nor did she authorize it (which may account for the disappointing photos); nevertheless, she will likely be pleased with Goodall's evenhanded, up-front telling of her troubled, unstable childhood; her rise from model and soap actress to the highest-paid female movie star; the birth of her three daughters and her ultimately incompatible marriage to Bruce Willis. Agent, Robert Smith. ( Feb.)

4.0 out of 5 stars About time there was a Demi bio written, October 11, 2000

By	Kjell Gunnarsson (Sundbyberg, SE Sweden) - See all my reviews

Even though, as Mr.Goodall says himself, Demi didn't authorise the book and take an active part in the writing of it, he still managed to sum up her career and in some respect capture her personality with, I think, admirable accuracy. You might think that with the track record of Demi in the press, and her not actually partaking in it, it would not be a very objective book in the sense that Demi has always been slandered, or praised beyond mere mortal status. But to me this book is as true to the facts as can be, or seems to be anyway. I don't know Demi, and I don't pretend to either, but the image I have conjured in my mind seems to fit rather nicely with the one Goodall has drawn up. So Either I am way off base, or he has indeed captured the "real" Demi Moore without succumbing to the notion that stars are not just regular people, and need to be described with that little extra... After all, they're stars, right? There are a few things in here that I particularly like, but I won't dwell on them here. Suffice it to say that regardless of whether you want to find out more about Demi, or just look at some glossy pics of her - this book is probably for you.
