The first-person story of Susan Seidelman, the movie director of the 80s and 90s whose punk drama, Smithereens, became the first American indie film to compete at Cannes, and smash hit Desperately Seeking Susan led to a four-decade career in film.
What The Reviewers Say
A testament to the good humor and adaptability demanded of women who dare to make a place for themselves in the movies.
Seidelman’s new memoir is a primer for being true to your art without losing your integrity, even within the rigid, winner-takes-all culture of Hollywood..
A breezy read.
A lively jaunt.
