About this listen

Poignant and beguiling tales from a reluctant movie star.

Discovered in Hollywood! A fantasy for so many. At the age of twenty, Shannyn Sossamon found herself in this rare and highly coveted position after a chance encounter with a major casting director led to a string of starring roles in movies such as A Knight’s Tale, The Rules of Attraction, and 40 Days and 40 Nights. Yet as her fame grew, she soon realized that being discovered in Hollywood is not as lucky as it seems.

HOW NOT TO BE A MOVIE STAR is the story of a misfit, a young girl becoming a young woman becoming a young mother in a world that was never meant for her. Not quite a memoir, but rather a channeling of sorts. Through lyrical writing, sharp insight, and more than a few handfuls of strange, Sossamon takes us into her private world of memories and passions as she navigates a darkly humorous variety of predicaments. Who knew running from the spotlight could be more adventurous than running toward it?
