About this listen
Entertainment shows, magazines, websites, and other channels continuously report the latest sightings, heartbreaks, and triumphs of the famous to a seemingly insatiable public. Millions of people go to enormous lengths to achieve fame. Fame is woven into our lives in ways that may have been unimaginable in years past.
And yet, is fame even real? Contrary to tangible realities, fame is one of those “realities” that we, as a society, have made. Why is that, and what is it about fame that drives us to spend so much time, money, and focus to create the framework that maintains its health?
Mining decades of experience, writer, director, producer, and actress Justine Bateman writes a visceral, intimate look at the experience of Fame. Combining the internal reality-shift of the famous, theories on the public’s behavior at each stage of a famous person’s career, and the experiences of other famous performers, Bateman takes the listener inside and outside the emotions of Fame.

That was a tough listen
I ditto everything the reviewer below me says; that had to be the single hardest Audible book I have ever listened to. I tried - but it was a struggle - bitter is one word that leaps out for me.
I appreciate her openness and willingness to share - but there was nothing remotely positive or uplifting in that book. It took me months to complete it, and I begrudgingly forced myself to listen at times.

Weird.
Sporadic, bitter, vacuous, scattered, unlikeable, harping, entitled, annoyed, hard to follow, self-indulgent. The audio is well performed though. I liked the natural ease of her delivery. She is an actress, after all… or she was.

Real and Raw
I can see some bad reviews here, yet I really appreciated Justine sharing her lived experience. The way we treat fame is insane and I loved how she opened it up from her side to discuss. I also think she nailed it when she broke down the few ways we only accept our ex famous female actors - our society is so messed up
