"Diane Keaton shares the wisdom she's accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. In a world obsessed with beauty. Keaton offers up a message of empowerment for anyone who's ever dreamed of kicking back against the 'shoulds' and 'supposed to's 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 Victoria's Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton shares funny and not-so-funny moments from her life in and out of the public eye. Being beautiful starts with being true to who you are, and this book offers self-knowing commentary on the bold personal choices Keaton has made through the years: the wide-brimmed hats, outrageous shoes, and all-weather turtlenecks that have made her an inspiration to anyone who cherishes truly individual style -- and catnip to paparazzi worldwide. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her life -- including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Sam Shepard -- 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."--Provided by publisher.
