Currently reading Ione Skye's Say Everything: A Memoir.
She starred in some of my favourite 80s films - Say Anything, River's Edge, A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Readon, and The Rachel Papers and starred alongside Keanu Reeves, John Cusack, Robert Downey Jr, and River Phoenix.
From an outsider, it looked like Ione Skye had the ideal life, however, she had many challenges, including being in a relationship with drug addicted Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (she was 16 and he was 24) and being a daughter to a distant famous father, Donovan.
She is now married to Australian singer, Ben Lee, and she is the mother of two daughters. I love that she now lives in my city of Sydney.
Ione Skye's memoir is open, honest and often funny. I love that she is so frank about her life experiences.
