Search - A Paper Life

I do not usually read autobiographies (or biographies) about celebrities but was drawn to her story. She speaks candidly about abuse and addiction, and eventually of survival. I enjoyed reading her story.

Tatum takes you back to the 70s when sex, drugs and partying were the norm, especially for the L.A. celebrity crowd. But the majority of the drama happened when she was a child and its quite "eye opening". Tatum drops a lot of celebrity names and you'll find out how she felt about Farrah Fawcett and many others. Its a sad, but fast reading autobiography about the effects of neglectful abusive parents and how she survived a bad marriage.

Just awesome. Quite shocking account of Tatum O'Neal's "paper" life. Her comments about her father, Ryan O'Neal are quite disturbing!
