I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
A Beautiful Way to Die is a must-read for any fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and books by Gill Paul.
Set in the glitz and glam in Hollywood in the 1950s, we follow a young wannabe starlet Ginny Watkins as she pursues an acting career in the movies. We all now know the dark side of Hollywood, especially back in those days and about the male predators in the industry and what women were forced to do to get ahead, so this book was another interesting glimps into the dark side of the rich and famous. Ginny begins turning heads and catches the eye of Max Whitman - the biggest actor in Hollywood. Max strikes up an affair with Ginny and tells her he's divorcing his wife Stella Hope despite the fact that the pair are Hollywood's power couple.
Stella is the dual POV in the story, and her POV is a year ahead of Ginnys, so the story goes back and forth over the period between 1953 and 1954. Stella has been ousted from the studio after her divorce and placed on loan to a production company in the UK where she meets a makeup artist who seems to have a secret agenda. This book was such a woven, twisty read with events and revelations I didn't see coming. I read this book in one sitting as I could pull away from the story, suspense and drama and still can't stop thinking about it now. This is the first book by this author I've read, and I'll definitely be checking out her backlist!

'A Beautiful Way to Die' is written with verve and a large dollop of Hollywood glamour. It felt like an ideal beach/holiday read - so much so that I longed to be lying on a sun-lounger by a pool as I read it. 🍸 If James Ellroy's 'LA Confidential' and Jackie Collins' 'Hollywood Wives' were put in a blender and then sprinkled with Kenneth Anger's 'Hollywood Babylon', it might be something like this.
My favourite quote was the passage the title is taken from: "It was a tightrope, this town, she thought. Just one huge balancing act. Keep going, one foot in front of the other, even if you're exhausted, no matter. Take these pills, don't look down, don't complain, look straight ahead. The alternative was not to try at all. And if you fail? There's no safety net, but at least you gave it a shot. If you made it, the rewards were so high. And if you didn't, well it was a beautiful way to die."
Lastly, kudos to the cover designer - the book looks absolutely stunning. ❤️
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy.

The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou was dark and gripping read and Eleni Kyriacou’s follow up is equally gripping but exploring an entirely different historical focus.
A Beautiful Way to Die takes the reader into the dark, manipulative and misogynistic world of 1950s movie land.
This is a story that is divided between Hollywood and Ealing studios following two different paths-Virginia Rose , a young aspiring actress who has won the opportunity to go to Hollywood and finds the path to success is certainly not what she anticipated - and Stella Hope , a former Hollywood star who has been sidelined/ loaned to Ealing studios following an incident with her husband the leading star of the time Max Whitman.
Using research of the abuse suffered by actresses of the time, this is a precursor to the #metoo era of recent years and creates parallel tales showing that regardless of success the abuse suffered by women was endless.
It is the power within the systems to accept and hide crimes all in the name of male success that shocks sharpest and repulses
Eleni Kyriacou has created a fascinating story and the era is captured pitch perfectly .. the sense of the movie world and period is so strong that the perceived imagery whilst reading veered towards black and white like period films
This is cleverly plotted with some unexpected twists - the denouement may be satisfactory but it’s still taken decades to end the patriarchal violent power of a male dominated industry
Fascinating, thought-provoking and tautly constructed. This should be another winner -highly recommended

Early 1950's. Meet Ginny, a starting acress, in Hollywood, Los Angeles and Stella, a seasoned actress, in Ealing Studios, London. They share some mutual friends but live their seperate lives on either side of the Atlantic.
I enjoyed following the women on their journey in an industry ruled by men. The good, the bad, the ugly, our ladies have a lot to deal with.
They move from classes, auditions and jobs to friends, parties and award shows. All at great pace.
But in between these entertaining chapters runs another story, a darker more sinister part where glamour takes on a whole new meaning.
The two parts keep the reader engaged until the very end. A monster of a twist turns both worlds upside down and finally connects Ginny and Stella.
A very well crafted and relatable read with a great cast of characters.
Thank you Netgalley and Head of Zeus for the ARC.

A tale of murder, blackmail, corruption and crushed dreams, all set in 1950s Hollywood.
This has been much compared to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which I loved, however I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much, the story felt quite contrived, the characters two dimensional, and it made for remarkably light reading considering the dark subject matter. It felt like some vital element was missing, having said that though, I was definitely entertained, enjoyed all the melodrama and found the author's note interesting, fab cover too, 3 stars.

A historical mystery crime novel based in the mid 1950's, A Beautiful Way to Die is wonderfully old glam Hollywood mixed with unscrupulous people who use and abuse others. Loosely based on events and people that, past and present, have occurred in Hollywood, such as Harvey Weinstein, this is an entertaining and often disturbing piece of literature. The tone set was perfect, the writing felt vintage and a touch noir. I loved this book completely.
***Just a little note, 911 wasn't a thing until 1968***
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A Beautiful Way to Die takes the reader beneath the glamorous facade of 1950s Hollywood to reveal its darker side and the people who dwell there: the money men motivated by profit, the publicists who can spin a positive story out of any disaster, the medical men who prescribe the uppers and downers, and the fixers who make the problems – and the problem people – disappear.
It’s a precarious world whether you’re an aspiring actress, the next big thing or a studio’s most bankable star because everything could change in a moment, especially if there are things in your past best kept secret.
Ginny’s initial joy at being given a contract by the studio (even if she’s had to change her name and appearance to get it) turns to frustration when she’s given one dead end role after another. And between roles there’s barely enough money to make ends meet meaning girls have to resort to being the entertainment at wild Hollywood parties or posing for risque photographs.
‘It was a tightrope, this town, she thought. Just one huge balancing act. Keep going, one foot in front of the other, even if you’re exhausted, no matter. Take these pills, don’t look down, don’t complain, look straight ahead… And if you fall? There’s no safety net… If you made it, the rewards were so high. And if you didn’t, well it was a beautiful way to die.’
When Ginny meets the studio’s leading man, Max Whitman, she believes everything’s about to change and her future success is assured. After all, aren’t they going to be Hollywood’s next ‘golden couple’? But she’s forgotten that, in Hollywood, everyone’s playing a part. ‘One may smile, and smile, and be a villain’, to quote Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Stella knows all about the ruthlessness of the Hollywood system. She and Max were once the ‘golden couple’, even if their marriage was mostly a sham. She’s no longer the box office draw she was once was but vainly tries to live up to the diva image. Ealing Studios is not Hollywood so she’s bouyed up by the friendship that develops with her make-up artist Maggie, newly arrived on the scene. And Stella badly needs a friend because of the blackmail letters she’s been receiving. Who could be sending them? Who could possibly know her secret, something that happened years ago?
The author throws into the mix a third character, an unnamed woman confined to a sanatorium. Just who is she, why is she there and what will happen if she finally pieces together the fragments of memory to create a clear picture? I thought I knew exactly where things were going but, boy, did the author prove me wrong.
In A Beautiful Way to Die the author has served up a delicious cocktail of intrigue and passion with a generous dash of darkness. Think dirty martini. I absolutely loved it. And for observant readers of the author’s previous book, The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou, there’s a tiny literary easter egg.

The gorgeous cover of 'A Beautiful Way to Die' by Eleni Kyriacou immediately caught my attention but the description made me immediately want to read it!
Following young stars in old Hollywood, we learn about the true darkness intertwined with the lives of the rich and famous. Not everything is as it seems for each of the characters in the story and each chapter immerses you in a new deep secret.
It felt like I was watching a murder mystery movie instead of reading along with it. The detail in the book made it easy to picture each scene of Hollywood and the time frame in the 1950's. It was easy to follow along and every chapter left me wanting to read more.
Although for me it was slow in the beginning but at around 60% through I couldn't put it down. I liked the different POVs of each characters story and how they seamlessly intertwined with each other. It put into perspective the dark side of Hollywood in the 1950s and how it exploits the young women rising to fame and how easily these young actresses could be pushed aside...but how much has really changed since then? I was rooting for Stella and Ginny the whole time. This book is one that you definitely want to add to your TBR if you enjoy reading thrillers and historical fiction!
I can't wait for A Beautiful Way to Die to be released! I'll immediately be adding it to my shelf!

Wow. Okay. What can I say? This book is GOOD.
I didn’t expect to feel the way I was left feeling when I closed the book but after the twist near the end, I felt all kinds of ways. OUTRAGE & ANGER mainly, firstly with the author 😂 because I didn’t want ‘THAT’ to happen 😭
But then … with those in power in Hollywood throughout history.
The author poignantly brings it to the reader’s attention the heinously corrupt nature behind the glitz and glam of the film industry. Whilst fictional, this story is based on TRUTHS that needed to be written about. An exposè if you will, that’s also a thoroughly researched historical fiction novel and a deliciously yet dark twisty mystery/thriller. What’s not to like?
What to expect from, ‘A Beautiful Way To Die’
- An unexpected ending with twists and turns toward the end (that WILL stir emotion)
- Extremely interesting author’s notes at the end of the book that shine the light on true stories that her character’s stories were based on/inspired by.
- Good pace throughout
- Connections easily made with the characters
- Based on/Inspired by true stories
- Historical fiction novel based on the Hollywood film industry
- Mystery/Thriller elements
- Reinvention, making a comeback, resilience and determination
- The dark side of chasing fame
The bar is pretty high for me to give a 5 star rating to a book so I have given it a 4 but I would definitely say that this was a GOOD read and well worth giving it a look. A special thanks to the author for writing about this topic, I believe this book is an important one to read for women particularly to feel SEEN. Women that have experienced abuse from those in positions of power in all walks of life, not just in Hollywood. It’s still RIFE and oftentimes it’s at the hands of a man, there are ‘Stan Fishers’ and ‘Fixers’ everywhere, we just don’t hear about it.

Thanks to Netgalley and Head of Zeus publishing for providing me with an early review copy.
I wasn't planning on plowing through it like this, but here we are, 50 pages yesterday and literally the other 270 pages today. For me, that's honestly wild. The fact that it's a thriller definitely helped with the speed-reading situation. The pacing is just really well done, and the way the author switches between different perspectives keeps everything moving at this perfect pace that makes you want to keep going.
Now, I need to address the marketing comparison to "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" because it's a bit misleading. If you're going in expecting the deep character stuff and emotional gut-punches that Taylor Jenkins Reid writes, you might want to adjust your expectations, Eleni Kyriacou does not. The only real similarity is that they both take place in 1950s Hollywood. This book does a great job with that setting. I actually learned some pretty interesting stuff about the entertainment industry during that era. The author manages to show both sides of Hollywood, all the glitzy, glamorous stuff alongside the really dark, messed up parts of the industry.
The way it handles the thriller aspects is just really solid. It's got all the twists and reveals in the right places, the suspense actually feels suspenseful, and the whole Hollywood setting adds this extra layer that makes it stand out.
This deserves to blow up next year when it comes out. It's just a really well-executed thriller that does everything you want from this genre. I don't typically give 5 stars to thrillers (that's just how I rate things), but this is about as good as it gets for me in this category. The way it kept me glued to the pages says it all, really. The whole thing is just very captivating from start to finish.

Okay so I started this book a couple times and kept putting it back down. I couldn’t really figure out why I kept putting it back down but it just felt very heavy and after finishing up several heavy WWII books I had to take breaks with this one.
The backdrop of Hollywood in the 1950s is what makes the book so hard to move through. Every time I read a book of how awful that era was for women in Hollywood, I wonder why any of them kept going.
This book follows Stella, Maggie and Ginny with differing timeline and pov chapters. None of the characters drew me in particularly so I wasn’t super invested in them or their outcomes. The twist was well done and the threads were nicely tied at the end.
Overall a good read for fans of historical fiction/mystery books.
I received an ARC of this title, all opinions are my own.

Do not underestimate a person who seeks the truth and justice . A book about young aspiring women in the 50’s trying to establish their careers in acting in a male dominant environment. This book shows the ruthlessness of some people but also shows the caring and humane side of others . A historical account of Hollywood and London in the acting world in the 50’s with some murder and mystery . An ok read .

4.5/5
The story follows you, hopeful actress, Ginny, who’s on her way up, and an older, beautiful screen goddess, Stella, whose fortunes are sliding. One momentous night, at an Oscars party, a crime is committed and their lives change forever. The book has been inspired by true crimes of Hollywood.
I loved this author’s previous book The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou. I had such high hopes for this and I ended up absolutely loving this! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how stunning the front cover is?!
Historical thrillers are not my favourite sub genre of thrillers but I had a feeling the author would do a fantastic job!
The book started off a little slow but the more and more I read, the more invested and addicted I became! It’s told in two POVs which I often like in a book.
There were some great twists and turns from the mid point onwards. The story was poweful and definitely had something to say.
If you loved the 50’s Hollywood glamour of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo then I really suggest you check this book out. This story is completely different but the glitz and glam vibes are there!
The story follows you, hopeful actress, Ginny, who’s on her way up, and an older, beautiful screen goddess, Stella, whose fortunes are sliding. One momentous night, at an Oscars party, a crime is committed and their lives change forever. The book has been inspired by true crimes of Hollywood.
I loved this author’s previous book The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou. I had such high hopes for this and I ended up absolutely loving this! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how stunning the front cover is?!
Historical thrillers are not my favourite sub genre of thrillers but I had a feeling the author would do a fantastic job!
The book started off a little slow but the more and more I read, the more invested and addicted I became! It’s told in two POVs which I often like in a book.

I love a good thriller about the Golden Age of Hollywood. Stella Hope is one of the most famous actresses on the planet. She is going through a divorce with one of the most famous actors on the planet, Max Whitman. They live in separate residences. Enter Ginny Watkins. A young woman who moved to Hollywood from England to try to become the next big thing. The story really picks when their lives start to intersect, and she forms a relationship with Max. I don’t want to give anything away sadly this one. It was soooo good. Couldn’t put it down! There were some similarities to “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”, but this may have been even better than that!
One thing that drove me nuts was that the whole time I was reading it, I kept thinking to myself, “man…1950’s Hollywood was crazy with all the harassment and other nonsense that women had to deal with”, and then it dawned on me that not much has really changed since then, and they really sucks. I can’t recommend checking this out more! Just a great story about one of the most fascinating periods of Hollywood.

Thanks to Netgalley and Head of Zeus publishing for providing me with an early review copy.
I had taken a break from thrillers after growing bored of the genre. Everything felt very same-y and predictable for a while there. When I read the synopsis of A Beautiful Way to Die, I was hopeful I had found something to pull me from my thriller slump. I'm happy to say I was right!
The setting of 1950s Hollywood was compelling, adding an extra layer of tension and corruption. We follow several women as they navigate a dangerous industry filled with powerful and predatory men. Many moments of misogyny, unbalanced power dynamics, and infuriating injustices actually raised my heart-rate. The tension was effective, properly building to a climax that was satisfying, even if I was able to predict some of the reveals.
Each of our characters felt distinct and believable, with Stella being a standout and a badass. I would have preferred a bit more time with her inner dialogue, but it was fascinating to witness her through the eyes of others as well, with all of her flaws on full display. A vain, pampered, self-assured but also deeply insecure woman with a fiery temper and fierce loyalty. There was a lot of complexity and nuance to her which I relished.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this one, and was eager to return to these women each time I put the book down.

I wish this book was a higher rating for me as I love the concept. A classic one star rises as another star falls tale.
The writing was well done and the story was good, it just didn’t wholly grip me.
The way women were treated in this time period is always a difficult thing to read I think. It makes for some characters that you can greatly empathise with, even though some things feel like they’re haven’t really moved along that much! I loved that the characters felt really well developed.
It was a good read but maybe wanted a bit more from it.

This was like true crime meets historical fiction and whoa baby it was right up my alley!
A dual timeline mystery dealing with two actresses, one up and coming (Ginny) and one “veteran” (Stella), surrounding one fateful night and all coming down to one man (of course 😑)
The DRAMA here was simply edible and I could not get enough. I didn’t guess all of the twists either! Each storyline was written differently enough that I never found myself wondering who I was reading about. I find myself really enjoying fiction involving Hollywood/celebrities, probably just because of the drama you know will be involved lol. I did think it was a touch long, but I also ate it up in 2 days, so I’ll give that a wash.
A darker side to “Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” without the present day timeline- I’d def recommend this one!

Interesting and well plotted mystery set in 1950s Hollywood. On one hand, there's Stella Hope, a star and until recently half of a glamorous power couple. On the other, a young English actress grappling to gain a foothold and a career. The author has done her research, make sure to read her comments at the end. The message behind story isn't a new one, but the author makes it fresh and full of unexpected twists. Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

After reading Kyriacou's first novel I had imagined this was going to be a more literary novel than turned out. Not necessarily a bad thing as it was fast moving and page turning, just not what I had expected!
We are in the underbelly of 1950s Hollywood. The story (for me) seethed Valley of the Dolls (Jacqueline Susann), Hollywood Babylon (Kenneth Anger), The Group (Mary McCarthy) and The Best of Everything (Rona Jaffe). We see svengalis of the movie world abusing their position, the casting couch, controlling studios and sexism at every step.
The narrative follows British Ginny Watkins as she seeks stardom, succeeds, fails and disppears. Her mother re-traces her path to unravel the knots and piece together the whereabouts of her missing daughter.
It is dark but addictive!

I really enjoyed this! I thought that it has very similar vibes to that of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, with the Hollywood 50s glam and the struggles that women experienced while chasing their dreams. There were a couple of unexpected twists, and I think it was written in a way that was very clever and allowed for twists to continue twisting. I loved the main characters, I loved the ending, I loved the development and the friendship. The only thing that I was a little uncertain about was the timeline - I was a little bit confused about when these events were taking place in relation to each other, but that may have just been me. Would happily recommend this book to others, especially if they were a fan of the Evelyn Hugo book! 4 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book.

I discovered Eleni when I was able to read ‘The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou’ as an ARC and have been eagerly awaiting a new novel of hers to devour.
Eleni’s writing is compelling, she lures you in with her vivid, rich descriptions and keeps you hooked with the plot. This addictive thriller kept you holding on til the very end.
I enjoyed the dual plot line between Ginny and Stella and was invested from start to finish.
Remember.. play the game, do as they say.. or they’ll bury you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was such a great book! Set in the 1950s Hollywood glam that will also tell you the dark side of this industry. Men that take advantage of young girls trying to get their dreams come true, and how the girls are struggling. It really broke my heart to see how these men had such an influence and were the make or break you. If you did not agree you would be labeled as "difficult" and your career would be over and you would been thrown out. This book was well written and it felt realistic. This author did such a great job with her research and I could almost feel like I was there as well. I did not see the twists and this book kept me hooked to the last page.
Thank you netgalley for this arc, my opinions are my own.

An easy but very likeable read full of the highs and lows of Hollywood. The cover drew me in and I thoroughly enjoyed this cosy mystery from start to finish. Love the makeup and designer references from the 1950's. Twists and turns along the way, I have already sought out the Authors other books. Pure glam and escapism!

A Beautiful Way to Die is an addictive noir thriller which had me hooked from the first page. Beneath the glitz and glamour of 1950’s Hollywood, lay a dark underbelly, which Kyriakou exposes with panache in this intricately plotted mystery. As always with her books, the author’s beautifully drawn and complex characters are so compelling, they felt utterly real. Impeccably researched and written, I adored every moment with this book.
December 23, 2024
Thank you NetGalley and publisher (sorry I can’t remember the name of the publisher) for giving me access to this book. Going into this book, I did struggle to get hooked into the story until about halfway through. The beginning is pretty slow but it does indeed pick up! I was not expecting it to turn out the way it did but the ending did not disappoint. I recommend giving this book a read! I look forward to continuing to read more books from this author!

I absolutely loooooved this book!
So let's start with pointing out that the only similarities between "the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and this book is the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood that it's set in, that's it, they are completely different, both fantastic books in their own right.
We follow a few characters through the story, all of whose lives intertwine, it works well, I didn't feel confused or overwhelmed when following all the characters. Very nicely done.
The characters themselves aren't deeply written, I didn't feel closely attached to one over the other, but they were all written well to be liked... Or disliked as they should.
The story itself was a refreshing take on a murder mystery, because we followed a few characters, we had extra multiple layers and branches to the mystery. The twist and turns had me gasping... My wtf meter was on high! Soooo bloody good! Did.not.expect.any of it!
I believe the amount of research the author did to make this story come alive clearly showed throughout the book and just dragged me into old Hollywood which we see was not in any way the glitz and glam it's been made out to be... By Hollywood!
Fantastic read, highly recommended. Would love to see this as a film tbh! This needs to blow up this year!

A light read about a young English starlet seeking fame and fortune and an older, established American actress. Both are caught up in the Hollywood fame machine, where it is men who rule and wield the most power, making careers and breaking them too. There is murder, blackmail, romantic intrigue and a mystery at the heart of this novel.
There is nothing particularly new or groundbreaking, but it was an enjoyable read. It would be a good holiday read for those who enjoyed The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or The Silent Patient.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

I have no idea where to start with this review — I have literally just finished the book, and I absolutely loved it. I adore this author’s writing so much!
Set in Hollywood during the 1950s, it was very much a man’s world — they called all the shots, and women were expected to just do as they were told. Stella Hope and Max Whitman were two of the top leading actors of the time. Crowds loved seeing them on screen — and even more, loved seeing them together. But in Hollywood, not everything is as it seems.
After her divorce from Max, Stella is sent by her studio to London to work with Ealing Studios. She’s determined to get her name back up on the billboards, but the reality for women is stark: as leading ladies grow older, the parts dwindle — while leading men continue to get the younger love interests.
Meanwhile, a new young actress arrives in Hollywood: Ginny Watkins. With dreams of becoming famous like Stella, Ginny’s big break comes after winning a beauty contest, landing her a trip to Hollywood and a screen test at Star Studios. There, she meets Stan Fisher, who quickly transforms her — changing her name to Virginia Rose, bleaching her hair blonde, fixing her teeth, and enrolling her in ballet, elocution, and acting classes. After a month, Ginny has her first screen test — and that’s when she meets Max Whitman. Instantly starstruck, it doesn’t take long for Max to sweep her off her feet with promises of love and fame. Though Ginny knows he’s married, Max insists a divorce is imminent, and they must keep their relationship secret for now.
Back in London, Stella is just about holding things together. When her regular makeup artist, Johnny, falls ill, his replacement, Maggie, steps in. During a pampering session, Stella receives a shocking letter from Los Angeles — she’s being blackmailed for $50,000 over risqué photos from her early career, photos Stan Fisher had promised were destroyed. As Stella leans on Maggie for support, questions arise: what secrets is Maggie hiding?
Ginny, now contracted with Star Studios thanks to Max, finds herself stuck in small roles. Max promises her they’ll work together on an upcoming project — but it will take time. When Ginny finally lands a bigger part, she’s overjoyed — only for it to be snatched away without explanation. Why?
Another mystery weaves through the chapters: a woman confined to a sanatorium. Who is she? Why is she there? The twists near the end completely threw me — absolute genius! I never saw them coming. This book truly captures the golden age of Hollywood, with all its glamour and dark undercurrents.
As I read, I pictured the actors and actresses of that era vividly — Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, and the film Roman Holiday are even mentioned. The story flows effortlessly, and the characters are brilliant. I loved Ginny and her mix of naïveté and wisdom. Max was the typical star — wanting everything his way, with any woman he pleased. Stella grew on me, and Maggie was just wonderful.
The book also touches on the grim reality of the time: women were often groped with no recourse, studios controlled everything, and powerful men could destroy careers with a whisper. Ginny’s journey made me wonder: did she truly love Max, or did he symbolize everything she dreamed of for herself? Even today, it seems a man’s reputation is protected far more than a woman’s.
Reading the notes at the end about real Hollywood scandals — like Frances Farmer’s tragic story and the chilling case of Jean Spangler — added even more depth.
Have things improved today? I like to think so, especially with the #MeToo movement empowering women to speak up and with more female directors and producers breaking through. Still, the pressures women face — especially to look younger — persist, whereas aging men are often celebrated as “distinguished.” Thankfully, we are starting to see older actresses getting substantial, powerful roles — a positive shift.
I highly recommend this book — a guaranteed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read! It will definitely be going in my Top Ten Books of the Year, no doubt about it.
