In this compelling and deeply honest memoir, one of the great actresses of our time shares the lessons she has learned from her personal professional, and spiritual journeys.



Born in Detroit during the Depression, Edna Rae Gillooly left home at eighteen, worked as a model in Texas and a dancer in Montreal, and eventually moved to New York, where her first audition landed her the lead in a Broadway show.  But as her career progressed (and as her name changed), Ellen burstyn found herself mired in toxic relationships, and she began to serch for her true self.  It was a journey that informed her performances onstage and in such films as "The Last Picture Show," "The Exorcist," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress), "Resurrection," and "Requiem For A Dream."  What Burstyn learned taught her to stand up for herself, to battle her private demons, and to reach for authenticity in everything she did.  By turns tragic and funny, thoughtful and lighthearted, "Lessons In Becoming Myself" is the extraordinary story of that quest for the examined life.
