Fascinating! Hard To Put Down!,
By
This review is from: Self-Portrait (Paperback)
I love this book. Gene Tierney tells her story and comes acrossas a brave and intelligent woman. She speaks candidly about hermental illness, her marriages, her family. Poor Gene...her first daughter was born retarded and had to be institutionalized. Her first marriage fell apart and she lost her grip on her sanity, but she bounced back. She married Howard Lee and her second child (by first husband Oleg Cassini) was born healthy. Today Gene might not be a household name, but she should be...if you read this book you will see why. Great book beginning to end!

Self Portrait by Gene Tierney,
By A Customer
This review is from: Self-Portrait (Paperback)
When I asked Amazon to locate this book for me it was as a result of watching Biography on A & E. After presenting their program on Gene Tierney, they told viewers about the book. I was extremely pleased that Amazon located a copy for me even though it was out of print. Not only was I pleased to obtain the book but I was extremely pleased with its content. I have been a fan of Miss Tierney since first seeing her in movies. I especially liked "Laura" and "Leave Her to Heaven" and have videos of both. But nothing can compare with the intimate details she revealed in her life story and I shall treasure the book always. Unfortunately she was swept up in the dark side of the motion picture industry where she was taken advantage of in so many ways. Although we, her fans, were cheated when she retired from motion pictures so soon, I cannot help but feel she did the right thing by turning her back on the sad memories brought about during those years and seeking a happier life. The book ranks high on the list of treasures in my personal library.

An Insightful Autobiography,
By
This review is from: Self-Portrait (Paperback)
Called the most beautiful woman in movie history by Darryl Zanuck (founder of 20th Century Fox), actress Gene Tierney also proves herself a good and insightful writer with this accomplished "self-portrait". I purchased this on a whim in an antique store, and have read it several times. I appreciate her honesty regarded her psychological problems and the fun tidbits about Hollywood life in the 1940s. It's unfortunate that the name Gene Tierney is so unfamiliar these days. She was a talented actress and writer, and I enjoy her work very much.
