{"product_id":"emily-lloyd-wish-i-was-there-9781782197539","title":"Wish I Was There","description":"When Emily Lloyd burst onto the movie scene as a teenager she was hailed as the next Marilyn Monroe. Her stunning performance as precocious Lynda Mansell in David Leland's bitter-sweet comedy-drama Wish You Were Here thrust her into the spotlight, won her a BAFTA nomination, an Evening Standard Best Actress Award, and a National Society of Critics Award, and cemented the film's reputation as a British classic. Hollywood beckoned and Emily landed high profile roles alongside A-listers including Bruce Willis and starred with Brad Pitt in Robert Redford's Oscar-winning epic A River Runs Through It. Yet behind the corkscrew curls and cheeky grin that seduced Tinseltown, Emily was confronting a debilitating mental disorder that threatened to destroy her. Now, in her searingly honest autobiography, Emily describes the incredible highs and agonizing lows she experienced through a tumultuous acting career. Packed with fascinating, star-laden anecdotes, startling insights into movie making, and moving personal revelations, Wish I Was There is part celebrity memoir, part examination into the difficulties of combating mental illness while being in the public eye.","brand":"Bonnier Books UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645224313174,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781782197539_1_0c0dc236-1ffc-4272-b2ee-9c5af2a4bdae.jpg?v=1778717045","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/emily-lloyd-wish-i-was-there-9781782197539","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
