comes a candid, hilarious, and deeply affecting look at beauty, aging,
and the importance of staying true to yourself--no matter what anyone
else thinks.
Diane Keaton has spent a lifetime coloring outside the lines of the conventional
notion of beauty. In Let''s Just Say It Wasn''t Pretty, she shares the wisdom
she''s accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and
international style icon. This is a book only Diane Keaton could write--a smart
and funny chronicle of the ups and downs of living and working in a world
obsessed with beauty.
In her one-of-a-kind voice, Keaton offers up a message of empowerment for
anyone who''s ever dreamed of kicking back against the "should"s and
"supposed to"s that undermine our pursuit of beauty in all its forms. From a
mortifying encounter with a makeup artist who tells her she needs to get her
eyes fixed to an awkward excursion to Victoria''s Secret with her teenage
daughter, Keaton shares funny and not-so-funny moments from her life in and
out of the public eye.
For Diane Keaton, being beautiful starts with being true to who you are, and in
this book she also offers self-knowing commentary on the bold personal choices
she''s made through the years: the wide-brimmed hats, outrageous shoes, and
all-weather turtlenecks that have made her an inspiration to anyone who
cherishes truly individual style--and catnip to paparazzi worldwide. She recounts
her experiences with the many men in her life--including Warren Beatty, Jack
Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Sam Shepard--shows how our ideals of beauty
change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful
thing of all.
Wryly observant and as fiercely original as Diane Keaton herself, Let''s Just Say
It Wasn''t Pretty is a head-turner of a book that holds up a mirror to our beauty
obsessions--and encourages us to like what we see.
