Most t.v. stars that try to write, write badly. They simply state things that happened, and expect people to like it.
Portia de Rossi did not do that. She told us a story about coming from an average family in Melbourne, to becoming a cast member on a widely loved t.v. show.
In Unbearable Lightness, de Rossi discusses her battle with food. How she dealt with the need to be thinner and more beautiful. Going from the normal 1400 calorie diet down to under 300. And how she felt with being a closeted homosexual in Hollywood, and not wanting anyone to find out.
And then she met Ellen.
De Rossi is in no short terms, a poet. Her whole story is well crafted, and thought out. She flourishes in the raw pain she discusses.
Wonderfully written, at times witty, and always real. Real with her readers, and with herself, de Rossi gets a 4 out of 5.
