NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠From Academy Award winner and bestselling author Diane Keaton, a candid, hilarious, and deeply affecting look at beauty, aging, and the importance of staying true to yourselfâno matter what anyone else thinks.
âBehind the sterling movie credits and tomboyish wardrobe, we see a soulful and deep woman contemplating the narrative arc of her own life.ââNewsweek
Diane Keaton spent her life coloring outside the lines of the conventional notion of beauty. In Letâs Just Say It Wasnât Pretty, she shares the wisdom she accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. This is a book only Diane Keaton could have writtenâa smart and funny chronicle of the ups and downs of living and working in a world obsessed with beauty.
In her one-of-a-kind voice, Keaton offers a message of empowerment for anyone whoâs ever dreamed of kicking back against the âshouldâs and âsupposed toâs that undermine our pursuit of beauty in all its forms. From a mortifying encounter with a makeup artist who tells her she needs to get her eyes fixed to an awkward excursion to Victoriaâs Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton recounts funny and not-so-funny moments from her life in and out of the public eye.
For Diane Keaton, being beautiful started with being true to who you are, and in this book she also offers self-knowing commentary on the bold personal choices she made through the years: the wide-brimmed hats, outrageous shoes, and all-weather turtlenecks that made her an inspiration to anyone who cherishes truly individual style. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her lifeâincluding Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Sam Shepardâand shows how our ideals of beauty change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful thing of all.
Wryly observant and as fiercely original as Diane Keaton was herself, Letâs Just Say It Wasnât Pretty holds up a mirror to our beauty obsessionsâand encourages us to like what we see.
