Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Two Of Me by Eleanor Coppola is a posthumous memoir from the matriarch of the Coppola family.
What We Say: “Eleanor Coppola’s life was already steeped in film when she met her future husband, Francis Ford Coppola, on the set of the horror film Dementia 13 in 1962. She has since contributed to cinema as a director, cinematographer, videographer, and writer, but perhaps her greatest role was to document the life of the Coppola family, both on and off set. In this posthumous memoir – Eleanor died at the age of 87 in April 2024 – she reveals her inner life as an artist, writer, and filmmaker, and tells of the toll it takes on the whole family for a film like Apocalypse Now to ever see the light of day. It’s a beautiful mediation on artistry, love and loss, told in a graceful journal form.” – Maria Padget
