Shelley: Also known as Shirley

Shelley: Also known as Shirley by Shelley Winters. hardcover edition. ISBN: 0000688036384.

The electrifying and outspoken memoirs of an earthy and unusually intelligent actress. In a book as gutsy and spunky as the lady herself, Shelley Winters tells of the street-smart kid from Brooklyn who crashed Hollywood as a harem-girl sexpot. The Blonde Bombshell fought to make it as a serious actress and walked off with two Oscars. With exciting romances along the way - Lawrence Tierney, John Ireland, Errol Flynn, Burt Lancaster, Marlon Brando, William Holden - ending with her explosive and violent marriage to Italian actor Vittorio Gassman. Shelley sizzles, erupts, and crackles with rich humor - it reads like a novel. This is a courageous and honest book in which one of Americas favorite personalities levels with the reader about the content and meaning of her life.
