You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again

A bit over-indulgent as you'd expect from Julia Phillips, but some passages are totally gripping.

Thought this book would be juicy , but it's not ,there are some interesting tales though that shocked about some famous people , but on the whole more about the author who I hadn't heard of and written in a way that's heavy and hard to read

Julia Philips drives herself through this biography fuelled by drugs, ambition and more than a little savvy and street smarts. The excesses of the era are captured as is the razor tongue comment on her contempories, actors, directors, drug dealers and movers and shakers. A woman who is ballsy but won't be everyone's cup of tea, her story is well worth a read, the first woman producer to win an oscar in a male dominated, sexist environment of back stabbers, wannabes, losers and winners, it is a great read and worth a movie in itself.

The stuff of legend, all the gossip you've been dying to hear about Hollywood in the 70s. Coke, sex, adultery....

I had this book before and lent it out and wanted to re-read it. The writing style is a little jumpy, like she jumps from her childhood to present day (at the time) but she does talk about the Hollywood mystique. It must have rattled some people when it was originally published. It is interesting for anyone who wants to get the vibe of the stars.
