I was hoping also for more detail about her decision to give up her career and marry Prince Rainier. Much of her movie star romances and adventures were very glossed over and given more as facts-ones that would be able to be read on-line for instance and are public knowledge/old news. I would have liked to learn more about her years in Hollywood and the strides she made as an independent career woman back in the day.
What was most disappointing about J.Randy Taraborrelli’s story? I understand this was written with the cooperation of the Kelly family and in that respect serves as an honorable biography of her life. I have read more in-depth narrative and learned more history about subjects of bios and memoirs in Vanity Fair. I would recommend this book to readers who are looking for a sanitized, understated almost picture perfect portrayal of Princess Grace. (Oct.This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Taraborrelli did not interview Knowles and too-often substitutes generic gushing for insight: "She'd quietly gone about%E2%80%A6 separating the parts of her life that felt true and organic from those that felt false and pretentious, and then moved forward committed to personal honesty and integrity." But he paints a revealing picture of the entertainment industry's debt to middle-class strivers. The book's magnetic center is Mathew, an ego-maniacal control freak and womanizer who's also a promotional genius, but sister Solange provides a jolt with her famous elevator assault on Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z. Knowles herself seems rather square%E2%80%94controlled, tight-lipped, relentlessly focused on success and image%E2%80%94so the drama comes from shedding people who don't enhance her success, from a gauche boyfriend, Lyndall Locke, to the Destiny's Child group-mates who want more limelight. Taraborrelli (Michael Jackson) ascribes Beyonc%C3%A9's success to her preternatural voice, musicality, and stage charisma, all obvious from age 11, as well as the single-minded efforts of her management team: first the amateur impresarios who recruited her for a tweens girl group, then her father, Mathew, who applied his salesman's chops and an inherent business cunning equal to any major-label exec's in order to build her career. Superstardom is a homespun family enterprise%E2%80%94with only minimal dysfunction%E2%80%94in this tepid biography of pop singer and actress Beyonc%C3%A9 Knowles.
