I really enjoyed reading about the childhood of some of my favourite stars and why they chose the profession they did. I am a big fan of Cher so I was particularly intrigued by her upbringing. Also the section on Jodie Foster was fascinating. Anyone who has an interest in show business on a more basic level will find this book a very good read.

saw this book sitting on the coffee table of a friend and as i waited began reading it. the next thing i knew, it was on its way home with me. was never to fascinated by celebrity mothers and children, but i found this book very compelling and it drew my interest immediately. if you are into celebrities behind the scenes get into this book.

This book was a good read because, let's face it, we all have a curiosity about what propels certain people towards stardom. This book delves into the childhoods of the world's top celebrities, from the destitute to the very privileged, with information derived from actual interviews of the celebs' mothers and/or mother figures. I found Star Mothers very entertaining, informative, and at times, inspiring.
