Book Reviews of Cybill Disobedience
Book Review: Cybill Does Hollywood
Summary: 3 Stars
Since this book was published in 2000 and there are 70 reviews before mine, I have that "dead last" feeling, but the book is worth a review regardless of the timing.
I enjoyed Cybill in "The Last Picture Show", "Taxi Driver" and "The Heartbreak Kid" and if she could have maintained that level of film art, she could have been an all time great. Unfortunately, three good films does not add-up to a distinguished career, unless you're James Dean.
I never watch episodic television shows, so I have never seen the shows
"Moonlighting" or "Cybill", so I didn't find that last portion of the book that interesting, but I was amused and stunned by all the big egos and pathos in the television business. I'd never want to work there.
About the book itself: I am a fan of biographies and autobiographies, and most seem to be pretty well researched, with a lot of specifics and detail. Cybill's book is done in a much more light and breezy style, as if she were talking directly to the reader in a conversational manner. That's fine, but personally I prefer a book that has an appendix in the back with more factual insight. For instance, Cybill talks about a potential or possible fling with Robert DeNiro while making "Taxi Driver", but there is no mention in the book, that he was either married to or already involved with Diahnne Abbott who played the concession girl in "Taxi Driver". That would have provided new information to most people and would have rounded-out the story.
And that sums up my impression of the book: What is there is fine, but I wish there had been more substance and information to go along with the hi-jinks.
