And here's the good news: she took notes along the way. Justine steps through the looking glass of her own celebrity, shatters it, and pieces together, beyond the shards and splinters, a reflection of her true self. The transformation is breathtaking. Revelatory and raucous, fascinating and frightening, \u003cem\u003eFame\u003c\/em\u003e is a hell of a ride. -Michael J. Fox, actor, author of \u003cem\u003eA Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEntertainment shows, magazines, websites, and other channels continuously report the latest sightings, heartbreaks, and triumphs of the famous to a seemingly insatiable public. Millions of people go to enormous lengths to achieve Fame. Fame is woven into our lives in ways that may have been unimaginable in years past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, is Fame even real? Contrary to tangible realities, Fame is one of those \"realities\" that we, as a society, have made. Why is that, and what is it about Fame that drives us to spend so much time, money, and focus to create the framework that maintains its health?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMining decades of experience, writer, director, producer, and actress Justine Bateman writes a visceral, intimate look at the experience of Fame. Combining the internal reality-shift of the famous, theories on the public's behaviours at each stage of a famous person's career, and the experiences of other famous performers, Bateman takes the reader inside and outside the emotions of Fame. The book includes twenty-four colour photographs to highlight her analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855769981164,"sku":"9781617756603","price":50.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781617756603.jpg?v=1759276482","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/fame-by-justine-bateman-9781617756603","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
