About this product

Product Information

When Emily Lloyd burst onto the movie scene as a teenager she was hailed as the next Marilyn Monroe. Her stunning performance as precocious Lynda Mansell in David Leland's bitter-sweet comedy-drama Wish You Were Here thrust her into the spotlight, won her a BAFTA nomination, an Evening Standard Best Actress Award and a National Society of Critics Award and cemented the film's reputation as a British classic. Hollywood beckoned and Emily landed high profile roles alongside A-listers including Bruce Willis and starred with Brad Pitt in Robert Redford's Oscar-winning epic A River Runs Through It. Yet behind the corkscrew curls and cheeky grin that seduced Tinseltown, Emily was confronting a debilitating mental disorder that threatened to destroy her. Now, in her searingly honest autobiography, Emily describes the incredible highs and agonising lows she experienced through a tumultuous acting career. Packed with fascinating, star-laden anecdotes, starting insights into movie making and moving personal revelations, With I Was There is part celebrity memoir, part examination into the difficulties of combating mental illness while being in the public eye.

Well worth the read
Compelling, moving, funny tragic true life story of Emily Lloyd told in her own words and very well written. Talented beautiful and determined Emily sets off to Hollywood after her award winning gripping debut at 16 Wish you were here. Sadly for her the childhood demons were never to let her go. However she has some adventures and memorable experiences in the USA well worth the read and not to mention the famous acting names throughout the book. Emily is hugely likeable and quirky and one feels for her in her recurring torments
