Star Mothers: The Moms Behind the Celebrities

Rating:
Summary: picked it up and couldnt put it down
Review: Georgia Holt, Cher's mother, helped to write this book and it shows. Everything is glossed over or sanitized except for what the awful intrusive fans inflict on the poor little darlings. Written alot like a reverse Enquirer, except without it's structure or organization, and written by the stars or the stars flunkies instead of an unbiased and/or rabid reporter.

Summary: FASCINATING, ENJOYABLE AND INSIGHTFUL
Review: I really enjoyed reading about the childhood of some of my favourite stars and why they chose the profession they did. I am a big fan of Cher so I was particularly intrigued by her upbringing. Also the section on Jodie Foster was fascinating. Anyone who has an interest in show business on a more basic level will find this book a very good read.

Summary: Satisfies curiosity of comparing celebs upbringing w/ my own
Review: This book was a good read because, let's face it, we all have a curiosity about what propels certain people towards stardom. This book delves into the childhoods of the world's top celebrities, from the destitute to the very privileged, with information derived from actual interviews of the celebs' mothers and/or mother figures. I found Star Mothers very entertaining, informative, and at times, inspiring.
