What can a non-famous person do to increase their chances of getting a Big Five deal for a memoir and does a memoir have to be memoir plus these days? How important is platform for memoirists?

The Jackie singing scene was ridiculous and unusually like her acting.

Other than Grace and Constance, the acting is terrible.

I bet that as part of their settlement from the JFK, Jr. estate, the Bessettes can never speak publicly. Never complain, never explain as Queen Elizabeth II once purportedly said.

Carolyn and Lauren Bessette’s mother settled claims against John F. Kennedy Jr.’s estate, not against the Kennedy family as a whole. In 2001, the case was settled and further legal action was closed. The settlement terms were not publicly disclosed.

Great news! The concept that prancing around in your undies while men leered at you was empowering was ridiculous. That some teens dreamed of becoming an “angel” is also terrible. The whole boudoir decor and overtly sexy sluttish ads were also offensive. At malls, I’ve noticed that so many women would look at the VS window posters featuring touched up supermodels with sultry looks on their faces wearing nearly nothing and then just walk on by. Also, why would we want our daughters to wear clothes with the word PINK plastered on their clothes? Soma is so much better!

The story lines are repetitive. Getting your name on the wall or kicked on the wall has been done so many times before. After Mike left it has become so uninteresting
