Reviews

Shelley Also Known As Shirley by Shelley Winters

By far one of the best Hollywood actress autobiographies I have read. The story of what she did to make opportunities happen was very motivating. Learning what a "movie star" did to achieve her goals and dreams was eye-opening.

I highly recommend anyone who enjoys autobiographies, especially when ones that leave you feeling uplifted; I recommend Ms. Winters book.
