Julia Phillips became a Hollywood player in the freewheeling 1970s,
the first woman to win the Best Picture Oscar as co-producer of The
Sting. She went on to work with two of the hottest young
directorial talents of the era: Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver) and
Steven Spielberg (Close Encounters of the Third Kind). Phillips
blazed a trail as one of the very few females to break into the
upper echelons of a notoriously chauvinistic industry. But for all
her success, Phillips remained an outsider in the all-male
Hollywood club. She had a talent for deal-making, hard-balling and
wise-cracking, and a considerable appetite for drink, drugs and
sex. But while these predilections were tolerated and even
encouraged among 'the boys', Phillips found herself gradually
ostracized. By the late 1980s she was ready to burn bridges and
name names, and the result was this coruscating memoir of her
career. Julia Phillips died on 1 January 2002 at the age of 57, but
her book will stand as one of the classic exposes of La-La-Land in
all its excesses and iniquities.
