If the reader does not know the people she is referring to, it can be boring. Some parts are written very well, those that describe, in depth, the life and personalities of people she was seriously involved with on a professional level.
Other parts read more like "name dropping" and I think this is because she wants to put into this short memoir a lifetime of people and memories, and sometimes you feel like she is doing a "rush" job. The book is extremely "politically correct" and she is very careful to restrain herself from both ugly gossip and badmouthing anyone.
As I said, she is a very charming woman, at least from the impression one gets from her professional work, her manners and her the way she writes. What is so enjoyable about the book is to discover her childhood, her sufferings during the war years, the nature of her family a sweet French, pharmicist father and a neurotic mother who indeed takes her own life at some point , her early start in Hollywood and her development personally and professionally through the years. She may look like a little "gamin" but she was and is a strong, determined woman.
I personally felt that her decision to leave dance and concentrate on acting although she was not a terribly "bad" actress was a mistake because she really was a dancer and a beautiful one at that but, on the other hand, dancing has a short life span. In short, I highly recommend this book for those who love know and love Leslie Caron and of course are curious about where she came from and where she went.
This was a very good account of one of the most beautiful IMO women in film history. Much is covered, the ups and downs of her career, the highs and lows of her male relationships, the at times difficult childhood and how she feels now at age this was published in But this autobiography was a solid, honest effort by an underrated French-American actress.
She should be proud of her life! Leslie Caron's memoir was everything I wanted:
