Her stunning performance as precocious Lynda Mansell in David Leland's bitter-sweet comedy-drama \u003ci\u003eWish You Were Here\u003c\/i\u003e thrust her into the spotlight, won her a BAFTA nomination, an Evening Standard Best Actress Award, and a National Society of Critics Award, and cemented the film's reputation as a British classic. Hollywood beckoned and Emily landed high profile roles alongside A-listers including Bruce Willis and starred with Brad Pitt in Robert Redford's Oscar-winning epic\u003ci\u003e A River Runs Through It\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet behind the corkscrew curls and cheeky grin that seduced Tinseltown, Emily was confronting a debilitating mental disorder that threatened to destroy her. Now, in her searingly honest autobiography, Emily describes the incredible highs and agonizing lows she experienced through a tumultuous acting career. Packed with fascinating, star-laden anecdotes, startling insights into movie making, and moving personal revelations, \u003ci\u003eWish I Was There\u003c\/i\u003e is part celebrity memoir, part examination into the difficulties of combating mental illness while being in the public eye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Lloyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782197532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782197539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e John Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Emily Lloyd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071176569087,"sku":"9781782197539","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd0a66e2-8bc2-4521-875f-90bfa6ef2ea3.jpg?v=1685434589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wish-i-was-there-emily-lloyd-9781782197539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
