This is what happens when you have a pretty woman with a glorious voice from a small town who lived in the most morally depraved era (1970's). I remember how witty Jack Cassidy was on talk shows then. I have read many old Hollywood…

I just read this auto bio and David's from 2007. I will definately watch the PF with different eyes after reading their stories. She definately had a lot of patience dealing with Jack's crap. I wouldn't mind seeing her lesser known…

Surprised this book was so sexy. She does not hold anything back. But why should she? It's true she most always played the "good girl" but that's not real life.

I am just old enough to remember lovely Shirley Jones as the Partridge Family mom. And, thanks to many '70s holiday TV presentations (and later cable and the TCM channel), I've also long admired her work and wholesome beauty in classic…

Recommend by contrast Julie Andrews's fascinating account of her own early life, including in war-time London, and career - plenty of surprises without any sleaze!

Excellent, frank and candid book - a real page turner in which Ms. Jones makes you feel as if she's talking directly to the reader. Revealing her helpless, undying and (nearly) unconditional love for the charming yet troubled (and doomed)…

What a trashy legacy to leave behind. I am embarrassed for this woman. Her children must be mortified, especially her step-son David. A totally co-dependent and attention seeking personality.

Interesting memoir

One of my favourite actresses, but did not like the book. All about her active sex life with both of her husbands, and lots of name dropping. Richard Burton and Warren Beatty both hit on her. I wonder if her children have read this book.

"A candid account by the stage, screen, and television star reveals facts about her two marriages, wild sexual escapades, high-risk brushes with the law, and relationships with "The Partridge Family" castmates." Biography and Memoir…

I agree with the others. This is a book about obsessive-compulsive and co-dependency behaviors, with a touch of Dr. Ruth thrown in. Long lists of name dropping. Very disappointing and rather sad that Shirl' felt the need to divulge "the…

What a piece of trash and so poorly written. I wonder how her sons feel about her telling the world how well hung they all are, especially her step son "the horse". Details of her sex life including how she pleasures herself was way too…

Ditto previous comments. Most of the names dropped in this book are only known to us 50+ ers. Too much about her late husband's sex life, too much detail about her stepson, David's personal parts. Either skip the last chapter, or at least…

I was really disappointed in this book. It seems to be a list of all Shirley's sexual partners and her life with her mentally ill, sexual addict first husband. I feel for the children of this marriage! If you want a better picture of…

This book was an eye opener! Shirley Jones needed to tell the world about her sex life and I don't know why she needed to go into details about that?. She is a beautiful and fine actress in her own right. The book was a big disappointment.
