'She Died Young' is the literary work of an astonishing mind in which intellect, madness, art and raw honesty unite. With humour, honesty and a poetic sensibility, Brenda Fricker traces a life-journey in which her resilience and inner strength shine brightly. With luminous memories of happy summers in Kerry, where she and her sister Gránia got up to hilarious mischief and learned to rebel against Irish orthodoxy, she also explores devastating personal challenges. She talks frankly of her complicated adult relationships. She describes the difficulty of surviving sexual violence and living with mental illness. Brenda's contributions to theatre, film and television represent an artistic legacy that few can match. In 1990 she became the first Irish actor to win an Oscar, for Best Supporting Actress in My Left Foot.
