description: 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 America's favorite personalities levels with the reader about the content and meaning of her life.
