Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty by Diane Keaton Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

Praise for Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty

“Behind the sterling movie credits and tomboyish wardrobe, we see a soulful and deep woman contemplating the narrative arc of her own life.”—Newsweek
 
“Delicious writing . . . This book is like a dishy lunch with the movie star you thought you’d never be lucky enough to meet. . . . Diane Keaton is in a class by herself and this book is good for the soul.”—Liz Smith, Chicago Tribune
 
“She’s talented, iconic, quirky . . . and wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir.”—Elle
 
“As disarming and personable as the actress herself.”—The Huffington Post
 
“Wise, witty, thoughtful, uplifting, the truth, unvarnished—and very funny.”—Toronto Star

Not a fan. I like Diane in movies but I'm not a fan of her in print. In this book she seems psychotic, insecure, and just plain strange. I couldn't wait to finish it. Sorry!

She does it again!. Diane Keaton is one of those people that I've felt connected to for the past several years without reason. I'm a 28 year old male and she's a 67 year old female. It doesn't make sense but after reading "Then Again" and now "Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty" I still feel the connection. There's a shared inner dialogue and I feel like anyone reading this book can find solace in her experiences. Thank you, Diane, for sharing your personal introspective and for providing unusual comfort for this young man with unusual experiences.

Disbelief. Insignificant, mundane, ramblings. Excruciatingly boring. Sorry!

Let's Just Say it wasn't Pretty. I love this book!

Boring...... Unless you want to read about having bad hair, getting older, etc...well this book is for you. I so want my money back, and I haven't finished this yet. And probably won't.

Sad. Close to Diane's age and have always admired her but after this book... Sad ... sorry I spent the money.

Appreciation. I loved it, being that, my family thinks I look and act a lot like Diane. I have loved her from the beging. I read her the book of her life with her family and the diaries of her mother. Now this book, of her thoughts and wishes, really helps me see the Diane we all love and appreciates . I could see my self as her so often in this book. I love her and give her credit for opening up and being so vulnerable about her feelings, dreams and thoughts. As a women I think this book has helped me to appreciate who I am and except who I am with all my flaws. Thanks Diane

Not worth your reading time or $$$. Hard to believe a publisher vetted this book for publication. If you think Diane Keaton is interesting her book will quickly convince you otherwise. Rambling words neatly printed on pages does not a book make. Diane's story is testament that female versions of Peter Pan exist. Found myself skipping paragraphs, then skipping pages, and when I skipped a chapter I deleted the book from my iPad.
