Product Description

Product Description

Her most controversial book is one you will never forget.  An outspoken thinker, a celebrated actress, a truly independent woman, Shirley MacLaine goes beyond her previous two bestsellers to take us on an intimate yet powerful journey into her personal life and inner self.  An intense, clandestine love affair with a prominent politician sparks Shirley MacLaine's quest of self-discovery.  From Stockholm to Hawaii to the mountain vastness of Peru, from disbelief to radiant affirmation, she at last discovers the roots of her very existence. . . and the infinite possibilities of life. Shirley MacLaine opens her heart to explore the meaning of a great and enduring passion with her lover Gerry; the mystery of her soul's connection with her best friend David; the tantalizing secrets behind a great actor's inspiration with the late Peter Sellers. And through it all, Shirley MacLaine's courage and candor new doors, new insights, new revelations-and a luminous new world she invites us all to share.

This TV production came to me before knowledge of the book - I caught the mini-series by chance, attracted by the title and content.
I was left with an overall mood of enlightenment, as if I could suddenly see a broader picture of life. Visually, it was stunning and fired the imagination further, especially, for me, in Peru.
The book was read immediately afterwards and remains in my top twenty. My interest in Peru of the past is now great due to this mini epic.

Having read the book ,Out on a limb, and thoroughly enjoyed it, it waswith a bit of trepidation that I watched the video. However,I was verypleased with the interpretation of the book.
The story line is of aspiritual journey and would be of interest to people who are 'seeking' theadventure takes us from America to Peru. Brilliant filming at MachuPichu.
I enjoyed this video very much as an open minded seeker
