A review by jackesq
Fame by Justine Bateman

3.0

I was reminded of my own brush with being adjacent to fame. When arriving at a Hollywood premiere, my family exited a limo. We heard: “Who is it!?! Oh, it’s nobody.”

As she says, this not NOT a memoir. It is also not an academic work although it is clear she has an academic background to analyze her own experience with fame. Perhaps Meditations on Fame is the most accurate. The best chapter was her experience as a famous/formerly famous person trying to interact with famous people and understanding the perspective of both sides of that bizarre social interaction.
