Lessons in becoming myself
Burstyn, Ellen
Lessons in becoming myself / Ellen Burstyn - New York : Riverhead Books , c2006. - 453 p. : illus. ; 24 cm.
In this story of a woman's search for a deeper understanding of herself, actress Burstyn explores the unexpected paths her life has taken. Born in Detroit during the Depression, she left home at eighteen, leaving behind a complicated relationship with her mother, to become a model. Eventually, she ended up on Broadway and on television in the late 1950s and early 1960s before turning to film. She delivered brilliant performances in The Last Picture Show; The Exorcist; Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, for which she won an Academy Award; Resurrection; and Requiem for a Dream. This book is a frank and unsparing account of Burstyn's search for personal and professional authenticity, the story of the quest for the examined life. Raised a Catholic, she has spent her life exploring a range of spiritual experience - from the Himalayas to Cambodia, from Mont Blanc to New York City - that goes deeper than labels.
