Resuming her autobiography, following Shelley, Also Known as Shirley , Winters recalls fighting her "blond bombshell" image in films during the 1950s and '60s, her many affaires de coeur and her near religious devotion to the Actors Studio and to liberal politics. "Largely a gossip-lover's feast," determined PW , noting "no celebrity, seemingly, is missing from the autobiography of this Oscar winner." Photos.

Continuing the story of her life begun in Shelley: Also Known as Shirley ( LJ 5/15/80), Winters takes us from the early 1950s through John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963. During this period she made two successful appearances on Broadway and won an Oscar for The Diary of Anne Frank . In a prefatory note Winters says she has been somewhat less specific about her amatory exploits in this book, but she still relates affairs with Sterling Hayden, Sean Connery, and Albert Finney, among others, and adds some steamy episodes from her marriage with Tony Franciosa. Much of the fascination of the book stems from observing Winters's naive egocentricity, and wondering what scatterbrained thing she's going to do next. As usual, Winters is not too concerned with accuracy, but the readers who made her previous volume a best seller won't be disappointed by this entertaining follow-up.
