What better way to get to know a celebrity than to learn about them through their own words? Although interviews and recorded videos show us glimpses into their lives, it’s scripted and short, often to the point. Memoirs are better because they offer reflection and past experiences.
The last ten years have brought up some of the best and biggest celebrity memoirs, spilling secrets, childhood memories, and inner thoughts. To keep this slideshow more recent, we only chose memoirs released before 2017.
However, if you’re looking for older memoirs, you should check out “Born a Crime,” “Yes Please,” “Mommie Dearest,” and “Dreams From My Father.” For now, click through the slideshow for the celebrity memoirs; people won’t stop talking about them.
