In \u003ci\u003eLet's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty\u003c\/i\u003e, she shares the wisdom she's accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. This is a book only Diane Keaton could write--a smart and funny chronicle of the ups and downs of living and working in a world obsessed with beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In her one-of-a-kind voice, Keaton offers up a message of empowerment for anyone who's ever dreamed of kicking back against the \"should\"s 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For Diane Keaton, being beautiful starts with being true to who you are, and in this book she also offers self-knowing commentary on the bold personal choices she's 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Wryly observant and as fiercely original as Diane Keaton herself, \u003ci\u003eLet's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty\u003c\/i\u003e is a head-turner of a book that holds up a mirror to our beauty obsessions--and encourages us to like what we see. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eLet's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Behind the sterling movie credits and tomboyish wardrobe, we see a soulful and deep woman contemplating the narrative arc of her own life.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Delicious writing . . .
