As I Am is the autobiography written by actress Patricia Neal. She had a lengthy affair with Gary during the late 40s and early 50s and is still very much in love with him today.
She has had a very interesting and sometimes challenging life and this book is a wonderful read. You feel like you're having a conversation with an old friend. It's also very tastefully written and it not a typical tacky tell all Hollywood book.

I found this book by chance a few years ago in a second hand book store. Your right it is tastefully written and you feel her pain and her broken heart. The letters she kept that Gary had written to her vanished after she had a stroke. That must of caused her so much more heartache

It is sad that some of the things she kept from her time with him were lost. I think she alluded to one woman who worked for her taking some of them and I have to wonder if maybe her husband found those letters while she was recovering from her stroke and destroyed them. I don't know that's what happened, but I wonder. At least no one can take her memories.
