Picasso’s Ghost tells the amazing true story of author, actress and model Carole Mallory, who fell in love with Picasso’s son Claude as he whirled her around a Manhattan dance floor, her heart lost in the rhythm of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.” This up-and-down relationship coincided with her career as a supermodel gracing the covers of Cosmopolitan, New York Magazine, and her work in such iconic films as The Stepford Wives and Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Her adventures in Hollywood, New York and Paris with such stellar lovers as Peter Sellers,Robert de Niro, Rod Stewart, Richard Gere and Norman Mailer make for an exciting and erotic read that will make the reader cheer for Mallory’s eventual happy ending. "The blow Carole suffered, the lobotomization of her once bright and charming father, could not have been more severe. It takes more than courage to survive a horror on that scale. I suggest that she was gifted as well, as an actress and as a keen observer, too, as a potential journalist and social commentator," Kurt Vonnegut

Haunted lives...

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 29 marzo 2013

Acquisto verificato

Carole Mallory has in her life been a grade school teacher, an airline
hostess, a socialite, one of the first supermodels, a TV and film
actress, a writer of books, a Playboy interviewer and contemporary of
some of the greatest minds of the century, a journalist for several
publications, including Huffington Post, a literary critic and a teacher
at Widener University and Rosemont College. Considering that she has
also been closely involved with such luminaries as Claude Picasso, Peter
Sellers and Norman Mailer, she has her stories to tell, and she does, in
her latest memoir, "Picasso's Ghost".
Anyone expecting a real-life Jackie Collins escapist novel will be
surprised to find points of connection with the author. Ms Mallory
doesn't hold back in describing her experiences with the modeling and
movie worlds or her experiences with high-profile artists; however, the
basis for her account of those years has most to do with how our
parents, particularly our fathers, shape our lives. Even as Claude
Picasso and his siblings struggled with living under their father Pablo
Picasso's shadow both professionally and personally, Ms Mallory's own
father and family suffered from his having had a lobotomy to treat what
was discovered to be Parkinson's disease. Shame and loss of fathers both
living and dead is not uncommon with many, and these issues Ms Mallory
explores with such poignancy that the backdrop of the glittering worlds
of Parisian artists and seedy Hollywood of the '70's become secondary.
Both Claude Picasso and Ms Mallory tried to escape the shadows cast by
their fathers by striving for success, with varying results. Ms Mallory
succeeded by overcoming alcoholism, self-deception, and by
understanding those whose frailties devastated their children. In the
process she found her true calling as a writer and teacher. Through
compassion, humour and a great gift for verbal expression, she makes her
world as familiar as our own.

A frank self-portrait of love, fame, and addiction

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 26 novembre 2013

Acquisto verificato

The first half of this memoir centers on the author's relationship with Claude, son of the legendary painter who shadows their story. She ushers the reader into a lush era that evokes nostalgia for the 60's and 70's with all their glamorous, superficial glitz. As the long-suffering girlfriend of a volatile young lover, her voice is self-indulgent and "suffering" and "pain" are words she uses often. We are informed several times that the Napoleonic code denied illegitimate children such as Claude and his sister Paloma the right to paternal inheritance.

For this reader, the true grit of the book comes in the second half when Claude is largely out of the picture after winning his lawsuit and inheriting a chunk of his father's millions. Carole doesn't spare herself in her raw, honest depiction of an alcoholic on the verge of losing everything - love, fame, money, and a budding film career. Her superb accounts of going to a celebrity wedding while drunk and of sinking her own ships under the influence contribute a serious message. Her revelations of the sexual side of this male-dominated industry may not be news but they are proof of how up-and-coming Hollywood actresses were targeted, victimized, and blackmailed into a sex for favors situation.

Some parts are disjointed and repetitious, written as if the author went into a mental fugue and just let out her feelings and reactions without any editing. However, it is Carole's portrayal of a woman desperately hanging onto the remnants of love that makes this book a memorable read.

Picasso's Ghost Haunts The Heart

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 30 luglio 2013

Acquisto verificato

Wow! Mallory has bared her soul to those who cared about her, to those who exploited her and to those who admire her. PG is much more than a love story gone wrong, it is one woman's journey through heartbreak, self-destruction and self-loathing. As I read PG, I was impressed by Mallory's strength and conviction to what she holds dear. Being a slab of meat in the Hollywood slaughterhouse where young ingenus are used up and cast off like discarded clothing, Mallory shows her strength and ability to separate reality from fantasy. Mallory is a survivor. Using her body and her brains, Mallory is able to captivate some of the most recognized people in modern culture and demonstrate that she is a cut above them with her honesty and candidness. Never does she try to hurt anyone. She holds her head gracefully above the exploitation inflicted upon her at the casting couch and the brutal treatment of her long time love, Claude Picasso. In spite of her personal demons, she is a strong, vibrant, eloquent woman. Mallory's book compels you to learn more about this woman who has been dancing on the knife's edge for so very long! What happened to her true love? What happened to her lovers? After giving so very much of herself, is there anything left?

Having climbed to the top of Hollywood heap, Mallory never forgets her humble beginings nor her love or responsibility for family and friends. Unlike today when we are bombarded by the escapades of Lindsay Lohane, Amanda Bynes and Justin Bieber, it is so refreshing to see that humanity, dignity and humor have not been ripped from the beating heart of Carole Mallory. Mallory's catharsis in PG hopefully will bring peace to her life and more great reading for the us all.

Interesting but jumps

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 15 maggio 2013

Acquisto verificato

This book was interesting but it jumps about from time periods to other time periods and repeats itself . This author is a teacher???? I cannot help but feel that all the name dropping resulted in the five-star ratings; however the descriptions of lifestyles of the 70's and goings on of Carole's life make reading this novel enjoyable. The way the author made all French families sound crazy like the Picassos was disturbing,such a bad generalization. Was this book written when she was drunk or sober? I would have liked this answer. Granted, it is a page turner because one never knows where or what is going to turn up. Was Picasso's son or mom and sister quite sane as to how they all let him be treated as if he was their exhusband/father and he was alright with that or as they put it "the family was alright with that and understood"????? Weird. Yes, some things in this book were just plain weird. Her life in Hollywood was interesting, her insider's view of parties and how people used one another was amazing in that I don't even think she realized it at the time.

Jumped around too much

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 12 aprile 2014

Acquisto verificato

I found it ironic that the author who was once an alcoholic and drug user could remember so much conversations with people. Every time I saw quotations marks, I had to wonder how did she know what those people said verbatim if she was high on alcohol and Valium during that time. I felt sorry for the author to waste her life on a man who really wasn't worth the effort. She seems like a great person but was too much in love with Claude to realize he was taking advantage of her. There seems to be many editing errors in the E reader which I would have corrected before it got printed. I thought at one point that I would stop reading the book but kept looking for other people that she became friends with to see how she and they interacted together. I also got lost a few times because of the time changes that she didn't acknowledge in the book. I hope she is living a great life today.
