review 1: Man, talk about a diva! While Julie Cole spends so much energy trying to convince us that she is NOT like Veruca Salt, she manages to complain and whine about every single aspect of her childhood, filmmaking, premiers, adulthood, etc. She comes off sounding ungrateful, entitled, and bitter. It's annoying! The pictures are, by far, the best feature of this book, and so I do think it could have been whittled down to a very enjoyable, picture-heavy magazine article. Glad I read it for free on Amazon Unlimited!
review 2: This is a delightful memoir from the actress that was Veruca Salt to be enjoyed by any fan of that unique work. Julie goes over the path in chidren's theatre that brought her to Wolper's production and the interactions of the Wonka children (Paris/... moreMike TeeVee was an imp, she had a rival for Ostrum/Charlie's affections, etc.). This includes the personal, thoughtful, and endearing side of Wilder and turning 13 isolated from family on a movie set. Cole relates the wonders of the sets and the whole process from a child's view and life after the film. This includes reunions for commentary tracks, her adult life inlcuding her marriage to Pete Phipps of The Glitter Band, later career as a fitness instructor and more. less
