Every memoir claims to bare it all, but Julia Phillips’s actually does. This is an addictive, gloves-off exposé from the producer of the classic films The Sting, Taxi Driver, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind — and the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for Best Picture — who made her name in Hollywood during the halcyon 1970s and the yuppie-infested 1980s and lived to tell the tale.

Wickedly funny and surprisingly moving, 'You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again' takes you on a trip through the dream-manufacturing capital of the world and into the vortex of drug addiction and rehab on the arm of one who saw it all, did it all, and took her leave.
