This memoir by actress Evelyn Keyes is a followup to her first volume, "Scarlett O'Hara's Younger Sister". It more or less picks up where the first book ended, with the end of her marriage to musician Artie Shaw.

Evelyn is going through her 40s and 50s here and talking about getting older in Hollywood. She seems to finally find peace of mind for herself and starts living her life for herself as well, rather than being an accessory to a man. It isn't as interesting as her first book, but it was a worthwhile read nevertheless, and I enjoy her humorous writing style.

[Malcolm Davis · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the later part of the 20th Century lots of actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood with time on their hands set about writing their autobiography. If they were lucky they might even get two books out of it.Mary Astor did and wrote them very well.Evelyn Keyes did but this book is a bit of a letdown.A lack of focus,few funny anecdotes and not a great deal of interest. She constantly harps on about her advancing years and lines on her face.There is quite a bit about her estranged husband, Argue Shaw. He sounds terribly unpleasant. Never mind she got revenge. She sued for and won half of his considerable estate after his death.I cannot see that her screenplay was ever made as a film
