Saga -of Strasberg Family
Offered in 'Bitterwsweet'
One of Hollywood's most
dramatic stories is recorded
in "Bittersweet" (G.P. Put-
nam's Sons), an autobiog-
raphical statement by
Susan Strasberg.
Since Ms. Strasberg's
father is Lee Strasberg, di-
rector of the world-famous
Actor's Studio, the book also
offers an inside look at the
theatrical world of New
York in the 1950s and 1960s
and Hollywood during the
late '60s and early '70s.
Ms. Strasberg's rise to
stardom began at the age of
17, when she gave a dazzl-
ing performance on Broad-
y in "The Diary of Anne
ank." At 19, she was a
cognized actress. She had

aging remark about Israel —
"Israel is intransigent," "Is-
rael gets too much from the
United States," "Begin was a
terrorist."
You know what he's say-
ing is wrong, but you don't
have the facts to back you up.
An emotional reply leaves you
feeling that you've let Israel —
and yourself — down.
Don't let this happen again.

achieved fame, glamor and
wealth, practically over-
night.
Unfortunately, it was
not enough. She felt that
she could never satisfy
her parents' expecta-'
tions; that she would
never be a fine enough
actress, a good enough
person to win their un-
qualified love.
In "Bittersweet," Ms.
Strasberg recreates her
ambivalent relationship
with a famous, magnetic
father, too preoccupied with
his students (including Paul
Newman and Marilyn Mon-
roe), to deal with the prob-
lems of his own children.
She documents the des-
perate attempt to escape her
family's overwhelming ex-
pectations in a reckless af-
fair with cd-star Richard
Burton and in her fateful
marriage to actor Christ-
opher Jones.
Emotionally exhausted
by a relationship that was
turning sour, Ms. Strasberg
survived her mother's final
illness, her brother's at-
tempted suicide and the de-
vastating illness of her own
daughter, only to be -faced
with the breakup of her
marriage.
