''I've always loved independent women, outspoken women, eccentric women, funny women, flawed women. When someone says about a woman, 'I'm sorry, that's just wrong,' I tend to think she must be doing something right.''<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>For Diane, 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.<br/><br/>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.
