MY STORY

This is the Full text of Mary Astor’s 1959 autobiography which deals with her youth, film work, breakdown and her return to acting.  The copyright is held by the Roh family (1959 and reviewed in 1987) and I was given permission by the estate to include it here. Permission to use any part of this book must be obtained from the Roh family at the following email address: Elbowfork@gmail.com

It should be noted that presently there are three unauthorized versions of My Story in print being sold on Amazon.com, several other web outlets including eBay and Bookyards .com.  These are illegal publications under copyright infringement laws and the Roh family is presently contemplating legal action against these publishers unless they immediately discontinue publication and distribution.

A lavishly illustrated Kendall version with never before seen family photographs is being prepared by the Roh Family and will be available as an eBook to be purchased directly from the Roh family
