...I read Elaine Lordan's autobiography WhateverItTakes after finishing Patsy Palmer's, so I couldn't help but compare them. Two actresses, both formerly in EastEnders, both Londoners - in fact, both coming from Anna Scher's theatre school.
Yet, while I found Patsy's book to be a typical cash in, with a strong dollop of drug addiction boredom thrown in, Elaine's was completely different. Even if you are not the slightest bit interested in autobiographies, EastEnders or Elaine herself, this book is really worth reading - and hopefully I'll explain why in this review.
WhateverItTakes is quite different to other autobiographies in general. You get some idea of this by looking at the cover. Elaine looks normal in the photos, not all dolled up to the nines with an inch of slap on, just a normal woman wearing jeans. Under the book...

Advantages: Funny, will make you laugh out loud Disadvantages: None I can think of
...I am quite a fan of the Little Black Dress series of books, so I decided to have a browse on Amazon for ones which sounded like a good read. I came across this one after a while, and it had rave reviews. Also, on a book forum I am a member of, they couldn't recommend it highly enough to me so I decided I would have to get it to have a go. And as usual, the book didn't disappoint!

...movie. Famous feminist, writer and actress Jane Fonda played the title character of Catherine Ballou in this movie. She started acting on mainstream feature films in the early in 1960's. Though she was not received positively for her acting and mostly criticized by film-critics and audience. But, she rose to fame and widely recognized as a talented actress for her role as ?Cat Ballou?.
Cat Ballou is a soft, polite and educated young woman who wants to be a school teacher.
