You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again
Every memoir claims to bare it all, but Julia Phillips's actually does. This is an addictive, gloves-off exposé from the producer of the classic films The Sting, Taxi Driver, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind--and the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for Best Picture--who made her name in Hollywood during the halcyon seventies and the yuppie-infested eighties and lived to tell the tale. Wickedly funny and surprisingly moving, You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again takes you on a trip through the dream-manufacturing capital of the world and into the vortex of drug addiction and rehab on the arm of one who saw it all, did it all, and took her leave.

"This gleefully insulting account is her story of life in the heart of the Hollywood machine. More than that, we are treated to an insight into an ecosystem that values money as the only yardstick creating a very odd and unstable “liberal elite”."
"In her autobiography, Julia Phillips breaks all the cardinal rules of Hollywood etiquette—among them, never diss the A-list talent, and never reveal your serious drug habit. The first means nobody will work with you; the second means nobody will hire you. Phillips doesn’t care."
