Reviews

Discovered at 18 by Howard Hughes and promoted by her debut in The Outlaw , Russell has long been a symbol of earthy sex appeal and Hollywood glamour. Here, she reveals a more complex character, grounded in a sensible pragmatism and strong belief in God. In spite of initially powerful backing, her career has been uneven, while her private life has been equally turbulent. She recounts both her triumphs and her mistakes honestly and with no apology. Although her approach to religion and her ``messages'' from God may surprise some readers, the straightforward, open statement of her beliefs will appeal to many. For general collections.
