Why read it?
2 authors picked Yours Cruelly, Elvira as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a big fan of Elvira, she’s a kitsch icon, so was really excited that she wrote a memoir, and it didn’t disappoint.
Her journey to becoming such an icon is fascinating and as you can expect she has plenty of juicy stories and name drops throughout her long career. I also learnt a lot about the woman behind the character and came away still thinking she is a fucking legend.
If you like your Hollywood memoir with a more freaky, fun side, this is the book for you.
I always thought I had an interesting life, but hell did Cassandra Petersen go through up and downs in her career.
This book gave me even more respect for her success in life. When it comes to an inspirational life story of hope and being able to achieve anything in life, against all odds, Elvira is a must read.
From Wolfgang's list on inspiration that bring out the magic in your life.
