Publisher's Synopsis
This edition is updated with a new epilogue by the author addressing the changes in the swing of the pendulum since the inception of the #MeToo movement and its effect on our society. A brave intimate portrait of an ambitious young actress who is willing to do ALMOST anything, and does, to make it to the top. In this no holds barred true story Joan Wood shares her sometimes uproariously funny and sometimes heartbreaking account of traversing the obstacles to success; the pimps, lecherous press agents, directors, and the photographers - most with one thing in mind- sex first and business later. This true account is just one that a generation later would spur the largest women's rights movements in history #MeToo. But for Joan Wood, standing up against the status quo for stardom, The Casting Couch, she won the role of a lifetime; A successful and self-respecting woman.
