Title: Well Documented
Product review: I've had this book for years but never got around to reading it. Gia had a mesmerizing beauty in an understated way that was difficult to describe. The author describes in great detail how her sessions produced magic as shown on film. Unfortunately, the sessions could be excurciating as Gia's work habits were horrible as she found herself controlled by drugs.The highlight of the book is the excellent research from so many different and disparate stories. Of most interest is the relationship between Gia and her mother as told by her mother as well as friends who have a different take on this relationship. Like many others I became more interested in Gia after seeing the movie where Angelina Jolie played her. The movie clearly followed the true story but only contained about 20% of the history. The book fills in the rest and does a great job. I recommend this book to learn more of Gia or the model culture in the 70/80s.
