MacLaine is wickedly honest about moviemaking, sincere and enthusiastic in describing her beliefs, and welcoming in the skepticism of others—it's all refreshing and fun.” * Kirkus Reviews * Praise for What If... “Fun and thoughtful by turns and told in MacLaine’s fiesty, funny voice, this should appeal to fans and doubters alike.” * Booklist * “The legendary MacLaine will leave you laughing out loud while scratching your head with questions."" * BeliefNet * Praise for I'm Over All That “The most revealing book of her career.” * Parade * “One-of-a-kind wit.” * Vanity Fair *
