An intimate biography by the author of the bestselling "Ozzy Unauthorized", now available in paperback. The hardback has sold over 35,000 copies and has been in The Times hardback non-fiction top ten since publication. Sharon Osbourne consistently secures major media exposure, with the final series of "The Osbournes" in 2005 and a new series of "The X Factor" starting in August. Read all about her difficult childhood, remarkable and phenomenally long-lasting success in her chosen career, a passionate and sometimes violent relationship, motherhood, surviving cancer and superstardom at fifty. In "Sharon Osbourne: Unauthorized, Uncensored - Understood", we go behind the 'marketing-genius' headlines to reveal the extraordinary life of this remarkable woman. From her emotionally troubled childhood as the daughter of music svengali Don Arden, through the drink- and drug-fuelled years on the road with Ozzy, and her determination to make it as a female manager in a very male world, right up to her current incarnation as an award-winning TV star and 'supermom': every inch of her life is examined and celebrated in this innovative and ground-breaking biography. In Sharon we have found an icon for our times: not only a hugely-successful career woman in her own right, but a mother, a marketeer - and an inspiration to us all.
