Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20
For a moment in the 1980s, Carolyn Pfeiffer was the only woman in Hollywood who could greenlight a movie. Working with directors like Sam Shepard and Wes Craven, and with actors like River Phoenix and Bette Davis, she had a hand in producing or distributing many landmark films, among them Ridley Scott's The Duellists, Alan Rudolph's Choose Me, and the Academy Award-winning Kiss of the Spider Woman. However, long before establishing herself as a player in the world of film, Carolyn was a horseback-riding tomboy who dreamed of exploring the world beyond her small hometown.

Coming of age story of trailblazing female producer who leaves the US for Europe. On her own, she finds love and loss. Bemused and engaged with movies, Carolyn drops us into Rome, Paris and London during the 60s and 70s .There we meet lovers, new friends and family. She deftly weaves the story of career, movie history and tender love affairs - and does it with a strong authorial voice. I was moved. Strong female memoir.
