Review title: reluctant biographical subject
Product review: The book seems to be a strung together set of anecdotes and information gathered from articles etc already in the public domain with Maychick filling in the blanks with her own conclusions. It does not come across as a biography that had the support or co-operation of the subject herself. Nevertheless it does convey almost a claustrophobic existence for an actress coming to terms with the fame and loss of privacy that her talent had generated and I finished the book feeling very sad for this lady. Twenty plus years on its wonderful to see this woman so much more at ease with her status of superstar. The book reminds us that the early days were not easy ones for Meryl Streep personally or professionally despite her prodigious talent, something that is often glossed over these days.
