By the time she was twenty-four, actress Lee Grant has achieved more than most people manage in a lifetime. Already a celebrated Broadway star and Vogue 'It Girl', Lee had just been nominated for an Academy Award for Detective Story. A year later, her name landed on the Hollywood blacklist, destroying her career and her marriage.
Finding reserves of strength she didn't know she had, Grant spent twelve years fighting the Communist witch hunts and rebuilt her life on her own terms- first stop, a starring role on Peyton Place, and then an Academy Award-winning turn in Shampoo. Set amid the 1950s New York theatre scene and the star-studded parties of 1970s Malibu, I Said Yes to Everything is a riveting account of a beloved star's singular life. 'A book that speaks of the human experience . . . beautifully and brilliantly, with purpose and with guts.' Sidney Poitier 'A meaty, multifaceted, and compelling story.' The Washington Post 'If there is any adventure, from love to politics, that you feel you've missed in life, Lee Grant has had it for you.' Gloria Steinem
