I shall now review Portia De Rossi's recent book, Unbearable Lightness. I read it in one sitting. If you or anyone you know struggles with Anorexia, it is a book you should read too.
Yes, I love Ellen, for many reasons, and her wife is so hot and adorable (she can act too), but what I was most interested in was the behind the screen stories about being an actress in Hollywood. All the interrelations among her fellow actors on the set of "Ally McBeal" (a show I greatly enjoyed for its creativity and the always sharp writing of David Kelley), how she fit in as the newbie, how they really handled the sex scenes---that stuff intrigues me. (Portia, sweety, don't wear a bright red dress to Christmas at the White House and sit next to the president/his family, a room full of people wearing dark colors. Maria Carey was in a bright color, but she was preforming--I felt bad for Portia, like the Halloween party where only you are in costume. It all had a more Church-like atmosphere. It's like at a wedding, you don't want to stick out, the bride's day and all.)
I believe her when she says she wrote the book and I can't say that about many celebrity-written books. It is heartfelt. She leaves nothing behind. A raw look at being trapped in self-hate and the joy of purging to fit into clothes no one should ever have to.
Yes, I wanted to peek inside her and Ellen's love story and on that note I didn't get a lot, but it is enough for now. Will wait for Ellen's book, what a best seller that will be.
The story Portia tells is probably familiar to many young actresses starting out. I hate how we, the viewing audience, have led producers to believe that we WANT to see paper-thin, unhealthy actresses. When I talk to people, nobody wants that, so where DID this idea come from? Barbie?
Portia used to collect mannequins and even at 92lbs, she was not as small around the waist as they were. Her brother saved her life by telling her she was going to die. He threw her a rope, then Ellen met her and pulled her in.
I do think for young women dealing with similar issues of body image, this book could be a life-saver. Young people wanting to pursue acting careers should read it too. Fans of Ellen and Portia won't want to miss it. ***THREE STARS
