Send Yourself Roses by Kathleen Turner
Strong, feisty, brave and brilliant, Kathleen Turner is a woman to be reckoned with. One of the most revered actresses of her generation and beyond, she is a woman who goes after what she wants -- and gets it. In this memoir, written with Gloria Feldt, she reveals her astonishing trajectory from struggling New York actress to household name -- a result of passionate ambition, powerful instinct and unwavering self-belief. From her first groundbreaking film, Body Heat, to her critically acclaimed performance in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, she has entranced audiences onstage and onscreen for three decades, whilst never failing in her commitment to the causes that she has supported throughout her life, and fighting an ongoing battle against the devastating pain of rheumatoid arthritis. Kathleen Turner is an unstoppable force of nature with a lesson for women everywhere: if you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? Send yourself roses, and take the lead, lady!
'Send Yourself Roses" is an intimate and fun read about an exceptional actress who is also a very gutsy, out-there woman' -- Jane Fonda 'Kathleen has always told it like it isShe has good insight, a great sense of humour and Send Yourself Roses" is an enjoyable read' -- Michael Douglas 'Her tale is ballsy and bold. When she was good, she lets us know all about it. But when she was bad, or when she hit the bottle or was debilitated by rheumatoid arthritis, she doesn't spare the details' -- Scotland on Sunday 20080203 'This is a very mad memoir indeed. I challenge you to put it down for even one moment... Kathleen, I am in awe. Be madder still, please' -- Sunday Times 20080203
