Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A cut-and-paste effort rather than a biography, this consists of quotes from approximately 100 sources. Freelance writers Young and Cornelison add their own reverential comments on Isabella Rosselliniinterminable allusions to the actress's beauty, courage and talentto snippets from her mother Ingrid Bergman's autobiography, My Story , film critiques, interviews, etc. Dredging up the scandal created by Bergman's premarital liaison with Italian director Robert Rossellini, the authors go over well-trodden ground, aiming to show how nobly their daughter has coped since her birth in 1952, living in the glare of notoriety and the pain of her parents' divorce. There is information on her career as a model, early success on Italian TV as a journalist and in American films; much is made of the role that emphasized her supposed artistic purityappearing nude in Blue Velvet.

Like Billie in her book The Pumpkin War, Cathleen grew up among storytellers. She often went fishing all around the Badger State with her father, who was a newspaper reporter. Ever since she was little, Cathleen’s dream was to write for kids.

After graduating from the University of Georgia, Cathleen began writing for magazines like McCall’s and Working Mother. Later, she worked as a police reporter at CITY NEWS BUREAU in Chicago. She then moved into television, writing everything from soap operas like The Young and the Restless to shows like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and MacGyver.

She has over a dozen television movies to her credit, including the award-winning HALLMARK HALL OF FAME movie, A Place for Annie. Cathleen is now the executive director of HUMANITAS, where she gets to help aspiring writers break into film and tv. She lives in Santa Monica, California, with her twin daughters, Shaelee and Gemma, her husband Patrick, and the family dogs Butch and Rexxy.

It was only after her twins were born that Cathleen discovered her true writer’s voice.
