After just reading a few pages, it was clear to me that this woman's life experiences would probably make it difficult for the average person to relate to her. She was born to a live of money and privilege, and yet, as I read on and discovered, faces many issues that we can, in fact, relate to, as outsiders to the glitz of Hollywood. She was a woman still seeking her father's love and approval, even as she faced his illness and passing away. She looked to other men, like Jack Nicholson, to love her, and was sometimes disappointed. Eventually, she found a soul mate in Bob Graham, who died of illness in 2008. She loves horses and yearned for a child of her own, but that was not to be. Instead, she learned to delight in being a good aunt and great-aunt to her nieces and nephews, in spite of her pain. In short, she is a strong woman, who has been through quite an amazing life, and I enjoyed the glimpse into it.

Book Review: "Watch Me" by Anejlica Huston
On a recent jaunt to the local library, I headed for one of my favorite
sections, the biography genre. I picked up a copy of "Watch Me" by
Anjelica Huston. While I have enjoyed her work in "The Addams Family"
movies,, "Daddy Day Care" and "Ever After", I thought it would be
intriguing to learn more about the woman behind the character actor. I
was not disappointed.
