5.0 out of 5 stars A Woman Scorned, September 11, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Everybody knows the star of Patton was a brilliant actor but not exactly a warm and fuzzy human being. Ms. Truesdell Riehl's account of her relationship with Scott is a compelling story of his destructive influence on innocent lives. There is no self-pity here, though. The author's narrative is laced with warmth, wit, and the wisdom that comes only from hard experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living in the Shadow of a Star, September 5, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Truesdell-Riehl's story of her 30-year clandestine love affair with George C. Scott is a gripping tale, beautifully told. The author met and fell in love with Scott when she was in her freshman year at Stephens College and he was a theatre instructor. After acting with him in summer stock following her graduation, Truesdell-Riehl gave up a promising acting career to go to New York with Scott, working as a dental assistant, while he pounded the pavement in search of acting jobs. Her story, written with both wit and wisdom, provides insight into the tormented life of this international film star and the woman he called the love of his life. It's a page turner I couldn't put down!

My heart hurt for Karen.She lived in an era ('50's)when shame and screcrecy robbed her of choices. I could not put the book down. She showed us us George C Scott as no one has before.
