Journey: A Personal Odyssey
A revealing and entertaining memoir from one of America's most beloved and endearing actresses, star of movies such as The Goodbye Girl and a continuing character on NBC's Frasier, whose career has secured her four Academy Award nominations. Marsha Mason's memoir begins with a literal -- and metaphysical -- journey, the night she leaves Hollywood for a new life in Santa Fe. As she travels away from a place in which she has known great success, and even greater heartache, she reminisces about her life, from her difficult childhood to her hugely successful acting career. Always feeling out of step with her surroundings in St. Louis, Mason traveled to New York to pursue a career as an actress. She met playwright Neil Simon when she was cast in the Broadway debut of his play The Good Doctor, and three weeks after meeting, they were married, a union that lasted ten years, during which time Simon wrote plays and screenplays specifically for Mason. But the outside demands placed on the relationship caused it to crumble, as Marsha grasped at a chance for professional and personal freedom. Devastated by their eventual divorce, she embarked on a series of difficult and often destructive relationships, as well as side trips into realms as diverse as Eastern spiritualism and sports car racing. Finally, however, Mason has come to terms with her personal demons, and come to acknowledge the inner voices that guide her. Inspirational and insightful as well as vastly entertaining, Journey explores the many sacrifices one must make to achieve personal happiness and professional satisfaction.

Journey

A Personal Odyssey

Chapter One

HITTING THE WALL

It's June 26, 1993. The day is fading and so am I. Twilight is coming on, "Magic Hour," they call it in movie jargon. My favorite time. On this seemingly ordinary California summer evening all is quiet on Turquesa Lane in the Pacific Palisades of West Los Angeles. Standing in the street, a cul-de-sac really, everything appears to be normal, but of course that isn't true at all. Everything is far from normal. I'm packing up my entire life and moving it far from here.

Artwork has been carefully crated and loaded into a temperature-controlled compartment right behind the driver's cab of a very large and very long semi with all my plants squished in there too. Twenty years of a California life packed up in just two days, and the moving men needed a second truck. Finally, just an hour or so ago, the semi and its slightly smaller brother trundled up Turquesa Lane and disappeared from view, already on the road, attempting to beat the torturous high noon heat of the Arizona desert, with the final destination Santa Fe, New Me ... read full excerpt from: Journey: A Personal Odyssey ebook
