From the Author Originally, the main purpose for writing this book was first to help heal myself and maintain a sense of humor as I vented. I found as I talked to people about what David and I went through, and as friends read chapters, it was helping by opening a door to dialogue, especially about "taboo" subjects. It then became my mission to help empower others through my experiences and David's - our life together as well as apart. Through our journey together, maybe others will see how they too can help themselves, confront their demons, issues, seek answers, recognize patterns, listen to their instincts, get clarity, closure and healing. If people reach out and are open to change, miracles can happen. It's not to say it won't be painful, but we can transform our lives for the better. By bringing various sensitive issues out in the open, I hope this book sheds a beacon of light on a path for others to find their way as I did.
From the Inside Flap "...it was one long rollercoaster thrill... Mr. Toad's wild ride...intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado." Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met, for the first time, the volatile, dark, and brilliant personality that was actor David Carradine.

He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team. Twenty years later, Marina and David became lovers. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking.

Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Marina was on a trip to Toronto when she received word that David was packing and preparing to move out.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very Worthwhile Update By Vissi D'arte This is a very worthwhile update to the original edition, which I purchased and read some time ago. If you are interested in David Carradine or in the general subject of psychology or in anything to do with relationships (and how to survive bad ones) then get this book. As for truly detailed and candid information it has that in spades -- hold on to your hat!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sordid By Isabelle Very mixed feelings about this book. It is an interesting read, but more along the lines of more Hollywood darkness and effed up-ness.I'm a fan of Carradine, loved his Kung Fu series and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues as well as Kill Bill and other movies of his. Say whatever you want about him, the man could act and he had talent and charisma. The author of this book I had never heard of, other than in the context of KF:TLC and as another ex-wife of his. (There were four others before she came along.)And she knew that. Marina went into the marriage knowing Carradine and thinking she could change him, fix him. She wasn't a teenager, she was a grown woman who had been married before. She was very good friends with Carradine's then-wife Gail, and honestly, what a low thing to do, to even date him when she knew they were still married (Carradine told her they were separated, but also that he was still in love with Gail.) Does any one with any class snake their husband from their best friend? I don't think so. If she was attracted to him then she should have avoided him until David and Gail were officially separated.She knew Carradine was physically abusive to Gail. She knew he was a raging drunk with a volatile and violent temper. She knew he was late ALL the time, for everything (even to work, holding production up at least an hour EVERY SINGLE DAY) while working on KF:TLC. She knew he was not clean, he was a messy and militant smoker (at least 2 packs a day), often burning holes in his surroundings or even setting things on fire a couple times. She knew he couldn't organize himself to save his life, leaving his belongings wherever, losing track of his appointments. She knew he was an irresponsible pet owner, even recounting a time when he went on an errand with one of the dogs and forgetting him behind--and yet, she desperately wanted *children* with this man! (I can see the headlines on that now: "Kung Fu actor Carradine forgets child at airport.") Everyone who knew Carradine warned her away from him. She truly believe that she was the one magical person who would mend his ways and transform him into...someone else. Because their love was just so intense, or something.She complains about managing his career and it taking every moment of her life (Carradine lost his agent and manager after KF:TLC because of his drinking and bad reputation and no one would hire him), because in addition to taking care of his professional life, she also managed every aspect of him--reminding him to get up, dressing him and styling his hair and makeup, telling him what people to chat up, managing his calendar, picking up after him and organizing every aspect of his life. She was a combination of mother and stage mom! And he was an emotional child.Then there was the aspect of money. She was his manager and agent but he hardly paid her and when he did it was minuscule like pulling teeth. He had no money because it all went to taxes and to alimony. Yet when he started working again, they lived lavish, buying expensive art, getting cosmetic surgery, and traveling to far away places. It seems like as soon as money came in it went right back out again, on extravagant purchases and the menagerie of animals they owned. She claims she single-handedly turned his career around, and that it is because of her he won the role in Kill Bill. I have a hard time believing that. He had a huge body of work, and everyone was aware of his talent despite his addiction and personality problems. She is a nobody.She claims that it was because of her he stopped drinking too (for two years only.) I'm not sure if I believe that either. He was always able to perform while drunk (he spent most of KF:TLC in a plastered state, even having to have his lines written on cue cards b/c he couldn't remember anything.)Then of course there is the sex. That's the hook, isn't it. No one would have cared to read and ex-wife's whining if he'd died of natural causes, but Carradine died in a Bangkok hotel room under very suspicious circumstances, naked and with ropes around his neck, apparently in a failed autoerotic asphyxiation attempt. Marina talks about how deviant he was--his incest with unknown "X", (apparently when X was underage). She talks about his cock piercings and chains, and his fondness for pain during sex. She hints he may have been bi-sexual. She describes how he pissed in the sink.And yet through it all, over and over, she reiterates how much she truly, madly, deeply and completely loved this man, despite the fact he treated her like nothing and she outed his sexual deviances in court during the battle for money in the divorce proceedings. She couldn't leave him alone even long after the divorce, calling him despite the numerous lies, open hostility and his many subliminal messages that he had moved on. She even still tried to engage with his kids, showing up unexpectedly at one of David's son Tom's art showings. It's rather telling that Bobby, David's brother, cut her off completely after she gave interviews after David's death (it's always after the celebrity dies, isn't it. When they can no longer defend themselves.)Let's not forget the many psychic readings she includes in the book! It's interesting that every one of them tells her exactly what she wants to hear at the time. Shouldn't they have warned her about how badly things would end??? Or just warned her away in the first place? She had a long description of how David appeared to her in ghost /spirit form (after his death), brushing her cheek, while she was at a book signing. Because a psychic she knows told her so. Sigh.David Carradine was a difficult, damaged individual, brilliant and talented. I can believe he had problems, that he was an alcoholic, that his sexual appetites were often perverted, that his temper was out of control and so was his life, even as I know that I loved watching his work. (Just think how good an actor he was. He had us all convinced in his role of Kwai Chang Caine, the antithesis of his own personality.)What I'm not convinced of is Marina Anderson's seeming perfection.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A gripping and sometimes harrowing real story. By Craig Hamilton-Parker | psychics .co .uk | Bestselling Author I loved the TV programs 'Kung Fu' but it is shocking to read the real story about the man himself. It is interesting how Marina Anderson helped Carradine rescue his career and what a battle it was dealing with such a man. The world of Hollywood is clearly a brutal place and this is a fascinating glimpse into what lies behind the glamour. In some ways Marina Anderson reminds me of Princess Diana in how she stepped into a world that was alien to her hopes and dreams and in her despair turned to psychics for help.
