Desperately Seeking Something
A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls
From suburban Philadelphia to directing Madonna, one chapter per song title.
Susan Seidelman directed Smithereens, Desperately Seeking Susan and the pilot of Sex and the City, and her memoir traces the route from suburban Philadelphia to downtown New York in its scruffiest and most productive years. Each chapter takes a song title, and she is funny about the era without being sentimental about how hard it was for a woman to direct in it.
