Celebrated for her indelible, Oscar-caliber performances in some of
the most memorable films of the 1980s and 1990s, Debra Winger, in
"Undiscovered," her first book, demonstrates that her creative
range extends from screen to page. Here is an intimate glimpse of
an artist marvelously wide-ranging in her gifts.
In fact, as this beguiling book reveals, Winger is that rare
star who dared to resist the all-consuming industry that is
Hollywood becoming her entire reason for being. "I love the work,"
she states, "and don't much care for the business." Yet she cares
deeply for the people who have inspired her. We meet them (most
famously, James Bridges, Bernardo Bertolucci; most dearly, her
mother, husband, and sons) here, as Winger passionately makes her
case for forging a life beyond acting -- and shows how she has done
just that.
Winger's screen performances have long been celebrated for
their breathtaking emotional range, a quality that shines through
in these pages. "When I was little," she writes, "someone told me
that when you age, you turn into the person you were all your
life." In this intriguing mix of reminiscence, poetry,
storytelling, and insightful observation, a portrait of a life
well-lived is strikingly rendered.
