[.ca] The Harder They Fall: Celebrities Tell Their Real-Life ... (ISBN 1592854761)

Hollywood Exposed:
On camera the sets in Hollywood look glamorous and ornate, but behind the camera they are just cardboard and plywood facades with nothing behind them. On camera the costumes glitter and sparkle, but behind the camera they are cheap sequins held together with safety pins. As it is with props and costumes, so is life itself in Hollywood. The celebrities flash their perfectly capped teeth smiles and flaunt their surgically enhanced bodies for the camera, but behind closed doors they are as diseased as the rest of the world. This seedy side of Hollywood is what is exposed in "THE HARDER THEY FALL." Fans of Rikki Lee Travolta's "MY FRACTURED LIFE" will pounce on this book and devour it whole

Don't Miss It:
"The Harder They Fall" is a must read. It is a top notch interview account with dozens of celebrities who have fallen victim to addiction and their stories of struggle, survival, and sometimes recovery. Not as powerful as the brilliant "My Fractured Life" with its suicide results or even the excellent "My Paper Life", "The Harder They Fall" is still a determined and biting book of the realities of addiction behind the glamour of fame. Highly recommended. Also recommend: "My Fractured Life", "Smashed", "A Paper Life."
