Jean Shrimpton: An Autobiography
She was the looks of the 60s. Her face appeared on the cover of every fashion magazine and her life in every gossip column.

Review by swinginglondon for Jean Shrimpton: An Autobiography
Rating:
So often ‘celebrity’ autobiographies are tremendously disappointing. In fact, you probably wouldn’t expect too much from some girl who was a succesful model forty years ago…BUT…you’d be wrong. This is a really top notch autobiography. She writes with an honesty and intimacy that draws you in from start to finish.Jean Shrimpton, like so many who had sudden stardom and massive international success, during the ‘Swinging London’ era, has an interesting story to tell. She tells it with wit, intelligence and good humour.

As a kid growing up in the 1960s & ’70s, I LOVED the yummy Yardley of London products & thought Jean Shrimpton, the beautiful young British woman who modeled them, the epitome of hip glam.
How fabulous to read her autobiography years later, and discover someone who, beneath the makeup & groovy clothing, could easily be a good friend.
She tells her story in a forthright manner; it makes for an entertaining snapshot of the times & the places, but is more engaging for her down to earth assessment of what is really valuable in a life; what really counts for the most in the end. And she, like me, has definitely come to the conclusion that fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Review by Margie Jo Rovarino for Jean Shrimpton: An Autobiography

One day when I had a little too much time on my hands, I decided to Google Jean Shrimpton, the obsession of my teen years. Little did I know I’d be in for this great ride! I obtained this book on Amazon, used, and was amazed at how much I loved it. The writing is decent enough, but the facts, the facts! I was so excited to learn about the interesting details of this woman’s life. Clearly, she was insecure as all get outeven with her outstanding looks and struggled with money. The sensibilities we have today regarding supermodels is we think they are all rich. Shrimpton made very little plus the world of modeling was so different then. It seems way more honest. The models did their own makeup and it appears plastic surgery wasn’t the norm as it is today.
I am happy to read Jean Shrimpton finally latched onto a passion she really loved as well as a man who didn’t pretty much disregard and disrespect her.
Read this book for sure if you have ANY interest! Great time.
