From Academy Award winner and bestselling author Diane
Keaton comes a candid, hilarious, and deeply affecting look
at beauty, aging, and the importance of staying true to
yourself—no matter what anyone else thinks.
Diane Keaton has spent a lifetime coloring outside the lines
of the conventional notion of beauty. In Let’s Just Say It
Wasn’t Pretty, 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.
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.
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.
Wryly observant and as fiercely original as Diane Keaton
herself, Let’s Just Say It Wasn’t Pretty is a head-turner of
a book that holds up a mirror to our beauty obsessions—and
encourages us to like what we see.
