Celebrities live two lives: one in front of the camera and one behind the camera. From the intimate moments to the lowest situations of their lives, almost everything is known to the general public. However, they do manage to keep a certain part of their thrilling lives exciting and fans may only get to hear of it when they read a memoir years later. Celebrity memoirs are great guilty pleasures and they serve as a wonderful way for the fans to connect with their idols on a personal level. These celebrity memoirs hold secrets, memories, and an inside look at the lives of these celebrities. With that being said, here are some amazing celebrity memoirs.
So, let’s get started.
1. Me By Elton John
Similar to Hepburn’s, Elton John’s memoir also released an inside look at the life of the legendary piano man. The memoir had a confessional tone and lots of self-deprecating humor. The singer opened up about his life before he got all the fame, his partnership with Bernie Taupin, his rise, and all the dirty deeds that come with the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry!
2. Life By Keith Richards
If you know Keith Richards then you’d know the story of the Rolling Stones and the foundation of rock music. ‘Life’ talks about rock music, fame, feud, and the triumphant reunion, and starts with the memories of Richard back in a cheap apartment with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones where they discovered their love for the beat and rhythm. It also resulted in the formation of the band that led to sudden success during the British Invasion.
3. My Life In France By Julia Child
Julia Child’s Life has always been interesting; from a woman who switched from being a part of the U.S. military intelligence to becoming the world's most famous chef. Julia opens up about her time in France when she was enrolled in the culinary school called ‘Le Cordon Bleu.’ She reminisces about the time when she argued with the owner, failed her first culinary exam, and co-founded an American cooking school based on French culinary techniques.
