ONE OF THE SUNDAY TIMES' 100 BEST SUMMER READS OF 2020 'It's hard
to beat Susanna Moore's Miss Aluminium' Vogue 'A sharp-edged
summery treat' Hadley Freeman 'Unlike any Hollywood memoir you'll
have read' Metro At seventeen, Susanna Moore left her home in
Hawai'i, with no money, no belongings and no prospects. But in
Philadelphia, an unexpected gift of four trunks of beautiful
clothes allowed her to assume the first of many disguises. Her
journey takes her from New York to Los Angeles where she becomes a
model and meets Joan Didion and Audrey Hepburn. She works as a
script reader for Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson, and is given a
screen test by Mike Nichols. But beneath Miss Aluminium's
glittering fairytale surface lies the story of a girl's insatiable
hunger to learn. Moore gives us a sardonic, often humorous portrait
of Hollywood in the seventies and of a young woman's hard-won
arrival at selfhood.
