Book Reviews of In the Frame
Book Review: A ROYAL, GRACEFUL LIFE
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a shame too many people only know Mirren from her Oscar-winning role as Queen Elizabeth II. She's always been an actress of great note and a woman of great courage. Here's the proof. Her book begins with the actress rifling through the contents of her aristocratic Russian grandfather's trunk of papers and photographs. Sent to London by the Tsar and eventually stranded and made penniless by the Bolshevik revolution, grandpa's life becomes the launching pad for Mirren's own collection of memorabilia. She is a pack rat, and her hoard is a vast and valuable one. In the Frame is as much as photo essay as it is a smartly-penned memoir. Her recollections of those early struggling days in insalubrious London flats set the tome for the success that is to come, and Mirren emerges as level-headed, grateful and gregarious but never greedy. Film and history buffs will relish her challenges playing both Liz I and II. Everyone else will simply relish.
