Un padre famoso, el dramaturgo y Premio Nobel de Literatura Eugene O?Neill, marcó la vida de Oona O?Neill, a la que abandonó cuando solo tenía dos años. Crecer en esa familia no fue fácil: las secuelas del abandono se cebaron con su madre, atrapada entre las turbulencias de la depresion y del alcohol, y con sus hermanos, que, impotentes ante la fuerza de sus respectivos destinos, acabarian suicidandose. Contra ese tragico lastre, la joven Oona encontro en su obstinacion por convertirse en actriz una via de escape que la llevo a frecuentar los ambientes bohemios de Nueva York. Orson Wells le leyo la mano, a Truman Capote le cautivo su personalidad, su alegria desbordante, su carisma y su sonrisa y, antes de convertirse en el autor de El guardian entre el centeno, J. D. Salinger se enamoro de ella. Cuando quiso decirselo, ya era tarde: Oona se habia casado con Charles Chaplin, que le llevaba 36 años. Con el tuvo ocho hijos y una vida en el exilio ?Suiza-, perseguidos por las acusaciones de comunismo y violacion instigadas por Joseph McCarthy. La fuerza de caracter, la determinacion y el talento para adaptarse a las circunstancias mas imprevisibles y al lado oscuro ?colerico, mujeriego, manipulador- de Chaplin marcaron a quienes la conocieron. Tras la muerte de su marido, se refugio en la tristeza y el alcohol, aunque siempre conto con la compañia y el afecto de sus hijos y sus nietos. Oona O?Neill esta enterrada en el cementerio suizo de Corsier-sur-Vevey, junto a la tumba de Chaplin.

¿Qué tiene de especial otro libro más con unas cuántas reseñas de películas, habiendo ya cientos? El enfoque. Se trata de hablar de aquellas películas, digamos cutres, que veíamos de críos en los cines de barrio como "El luchador manco", "Le llamaban Trinidad" o "Gorgo y Superman se citan en Tokio", por poner tres ejemplos. Pero claro, en los cines de barrio tambien disfrutabamos con "Los violentos de Kelly", "Diamantes para la eternidad" o "El planeta de los simios", entre otras mil. Asi que el resultado final es un libro que intenta rememorar aquellas tardes en el cine de barrio (y en alguno de estreno), con comentarios mas o menos serios sobre muchos de aquellos filmes. Esa secuencia de tantas pelis que se nos quedo grabada en la memoria para siempre, ese miedo que pasamos, esas carcajadas que nos echamos "SESION CONTINUA" es un libro de memorias cinefilas, pero tambien un intento por situar a cada lector en aquellos momentos, que incluso nos pueden hacer recordar el cine y el momento en que las vieron.

En 1970 Barbra Streisand publicó un artículo en la revista Life titulado Who Am I Anyway? (¿Quién soy yo en realidad?). Esa misma pregunta se la hicieron también Steve Schapiro y Lawrence Schiller, dos de los reporteros graficos mas destacados de la epoca que retrataron a la actriz durante sus primeros años en Hollywood mientras se esforzaban por asomarse al otro lado de la cortina y descubrir a la verdadera Barbra. Este libro, que rebosa de fotografias, anecdotas e imagenes tomadas por Schapiro y Schiller entre bastidores, es una obra imprescindible para cualquier fan de Streisand. Incluye las mejores peliculas de la primera decada de a actriz en Hollywood: Funny Girl (Una chica divertida), Vuelve a mi lado, Tal como eramos, La gatita y el buho, Casada en Nueva York, Funny Lady y Ha nacido una estrella. Sus amores, directores, confidentes y compañeros de reparto tambien quedan retratados: Elliott Gould, William Wyler, Sydney Pollack, Vincente Minnelli, Cis Corman, Omar Sharif, Kris Kristofferson y, por supuesto, Robert Redford. El conjunto cristaliza una imagen clara: mas que una cantante capaz de actuar, Streisand es una actriz capaz de cantar, escribir, dirigir, bailar y, en general, de hacer todo aquello que se propone.
