So I have finished the current Marianne book in once again record time. There is something about all of Marianne's stories that keep you entranced. Now this is very different to Faithful - her original and hugely successful first biography. It is more little tidbits from that first book with an update at the end I guess mainly concentrating on her cancer scare.
This is probably only for REAL Marianne devotees and doesn't cover much more than the first novel - it's clear this was done for money. I hate to say it as you know I love her heaps but a girls gotta do.
Highlights include the chapter on Henrietta Moraes, "She was a precocious little Existentialista, at an early age a habitue of infamous Soho watering holes" and when she receives a curse from the director Kenneth Anger. "You Jew! You Jew, like Kirk Douglas, like DANNY KAYE!". Utterly hialrious - her description of life in sixties is second to none and the legions of crazy characters she portrays are utterly enveloping. A must for any face.
