Moving Pictures: An Autobiography by Ali MacGraw
Requirements: .PDF reader, 13.03 MB
Overview: In this candid, courageous autobiography, MacGraw discusses her artistic, emotionally cold parents, her schooling at Wellesley College and her stint as Diana Vreeland’s "girl" at Harper’s Bazaar. The focus, however, is on her struggle with addiction –alcoholism and male dependency — that grew as her acting career and personal life sputtered. A sudden star in her first major role, in Goodbye, Columbus in 1969, and the following year with the even more popular Love Story, she felt immediately that she was ‘in way over my head,’ mainly because of her fear of the camera ("I was scarcely trained at all as an actress"). Alcohol compounded problems and she continued to run after unavailable or hard-drinking or cold men. (Third husband Steve McQueen forbade MacGraw from working, yet convinced her to sign a prenuptual agreement that left her penniless after their divorce). In 1986, the actress spent a month at the Betty Ford clinic. Although she receives few film or TV job offers today, MacGraw is sober and ‘growing up at last.’
