Inside story: The best Hollywood memoirs to read now
Celebrities – they’re just like us. Except, of course, when they’re hitting the red carpet in a custom-made kostym they’ll wear once, sipping vintage Champagne at after parties with their silver screen co-stars or, right now, holing up in palatial LA mansions filming Instagram Stories about how tough they’re finding endless days sat by their infinity pools. A global pandemic truly is a great leveller.
Of course, it hasn’t always been this way. Time was celebrities didn’t pretend to be like the rest of us. In fact fans expected, nay demanded, that their favourite stars live the kind of life they could only dream of. A great star of the Golden Age of Hollywood should be seen to be living the high life – summering in the South of France, skiing in Aspen and attending endless black tie galas. As for selfies? You weren’t coming within 50 feet of Fred Astaire or Elizabeth Taylor.
So what was life really like for these actors and actres

The Best Celebrity Memoirs of All Time

Back Bay Books Life, by Keith Richards
Now 48% Off
Keith Richards is the living embodiment of rock ’n’ roll, which is funny, because we’ve been obsessed with his pending death since the ’70s. Part of the legendary Glimmer Twin duo with bandmate Mick Jagger, Richards has an easy, avuncular affinity for reminiscing. Working with the deft James Fox (White Mischief), we get a finely distilled articulation of Richards' life and times. The high praise heaped on the book is well-earned.
