About the Author:
Shirley Maclaine was born and raised in Virginia. She began her career as a Broadway dancer and singer, then progressed to featured performer and award-winning actress in television and films. She has traveled extensively around the world, and her experiences in Africa, Bhutan, and the Far East formed the basis for her first two bestsellers, Don’t Fall Off the Mountain and You Can Get There From Here. Her investigations into the spiritual realm were the focus of Out on a Limb, Dancing in the Light, It’s All in the Playing, and Going Within, all of which were national and worldwide bestsellers. In her intimate memoir Dance While You Can, she wrote about aging, relationships, work, her parents, her daughter, and her own future as an artist and a woman. My Lucky Stars: A Hollywood Memoir offers a candid and searching look at her forty years in Hollywood and the stars who taught her about show business and life.
From Library Journal:
After Out on a Limb , MacLaine now offers more of her family background, with reproductions of parental game-playing conversations which must evoke poignant recognitions in children of conflicting adults. Aided by spirit-guided acupuncture, she has been recovering past-life experiences enabling her to deal with this pain. Most moving is her meeting with her Higher Self, which continues to guide her. Another colorful love affair in Paris and Hollywood provides food for the gossip-column fans. More serious are her ruminations on creative artistry, first as a dancer, then as a movie star. Even readers put off by MacLaine's uncritical and wholehearted embrace of reincarnation will have to applaud her candor and zest for discovering the meaning of her life. Jeanne S. Bagby, Tucson P.L., Ariz.
