Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls – by Susan Seidelman

Posted on December 4, 2023 by Mark Lieberman

I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before its published.

The only thing I knew about her was she directed the movie, Desperately Seeking Susan that starred a very young Madonna. This book, though, was much more about her life growing up and how she got started as a director in a male dominated profession. She not only did movies, but also the pilot for Sex and The City on HBO.

I kind of now want to watch her first movie, Smithereens.

I liked was how each chapter was titled after a specific song, and throughout the chapter, you can understand why. I enjoyed all the stories she told, even how she met her husband and her pregnancy.

Overall, I am glad I read this as I love reading about strong willed independent females.
