Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
So, we're saying goodbye to November today...is anyone else looking around lost like a tourist in France to see where exactly the month went? Whew! I mean seriously, it seems like it was just October yesterday, and yet here we are about to greet the last month of the year. Here's hoping you're making the best of it and getting in some fab reads during these final weeks too. Speaking of which...
Today, we're turning our attention to another title courtesy of iRead Book Tours that's set to leave us with the stars in our eyes. Yes, I said "the" stars. Sounds awkward, but it fits the title you're about to set your sights on. Ready or not, here comes today's title in the spotlight...
Falling for the Stars
by
Lisa Loving Dalton
About the book...
AMAZON #1 BESTSELLER!
This Behind-the-Scenes Tell-All About Doubling for Celebrity Superstars Also Reveals the Compelling Life Story of an Insecure Hollywood Arrival Who Rises to the Top of Her Field, But Pays a Hefty Price.
- Addiction
- Chauvinism
- Big Egos collide with the surprising kindness of superstars.
Discover the magic and the tragic stories of many great films & TV shows through the eyes of a stuntwoman. Dalton reveals what it took to hang over cliffs, get hit by a moving car, drop from five stories up, dodge an avenue full of speeding cars--and to ignore the Universe's more gentle prompts that it was time to quit and follow her passion into acting full-time or teaching acting.
The resulting career-ending spinal injury has a story of its own, how she researched medical and alternative paths that form the heart of what she shares with the world today. "What stands out in this book is the indomitable spirit the author has, despite the extraordinary price she paid for her stellar career--including misogyny, a miscarriage, and a life-long back injury. And each juicy story she relays in her fascinating chronicle, brings home an important life lesson for the reader--one that she learned the hard way.
Stunt Gal Lisa Dalton tattles about humorous and harrowing tales culled from over 200 films, television shows and commercials including:
Ghostbusters - Money Pit
- Crocodile Dundee
- Married to the Mob
- FX
- Legal Eagles
- The Last Dragon
- Saturday Night Live
- Splash
- The Highlander
- World According To Garp
Working with or doubling such superstars as Meryl Streep, Cher, Madonna, Grace Jones, Robert Redford, Katherine Hepburn, Sean Connery, Tom Hanks, Chevy Chase, Robin Williams, Ed O'Neill, Michelle Pfeiffer and more.

Until next time, remember...if it looks good, READ IT!
LOL! If it looks good, read it indeed. I wish there was a way to just absorb it so I could fit int EVEN more books. =) I tell you what, Hollywood is such an interesting beast, and definitely no place I ever want to live...which is why I'm living on the other coast, about as far away as I can get. (No, that's not the reason, but it sounded good, right?)
