About This Book
Known for her outstanding performances on the groundbreaking television series The Good Wife and ER, Julianna Margulies chronicles her life and her work in this memoir. As an apple-cheeked bubbly child, Julianna was bestowed with the family nickname "Sunshine Girl." Shuttled back and forth between her divorced parents, often on different continents, she quickly learned how to be of value to her eccentric mother and her absent father. There were complicated relationships, difficult choices, and overwhelming rejections along the way to becoming an award-winning actress. But there were also the moments where fate, faith, and talent aligned, leading to the unforgettable roles of a lifetime, both professionally and personally--moments when chaos had finally turned to calm. Filled with intimate stories and revelatory moments, Sunshine Girl is aself-portrait of a woman whose resilience in the face of turmoil will intrigue and inspire.
Reviews
"One empathizes with Margulies' rough childhood and marvels at her sheer resilience over her mother's erratic behavior."
"this book is more about the strength of the storytelling than the star power of the author ..."
"Filled with intimate stories and revelatory moments, Sunshine Girl is at once unflinchingly honest and perceptive."
"Margulies's narrative is full of piquant anecdotes—such as the time her mother brought home a man she met at a nightclub, along with his pet monkey—and subtle, evocative character studies that suggest how her rapt attunement to her family's mercurial personalities and self-actualizing impulses nurtured her own creative ambitions."
