‘’A TOUR DE FORCE” – HUFFPOST
"For those who have been touched by [Geraldine] Page’s sorcery — and I personally don’t know any great actor who hasn’t been — Angelica’s virtuosic conjuring of her mother’s spirit is something to behold.” — Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
"Conjuring Geraldine Page… the stellar actress Angelica Page, is paying homage to this monumental artist in her stage piece “Turning Page.” — Hilton Als, The New Yorker
“This is not a high wire act of mimicry. This is lived enchantment that moves.
Angelica is Geraldine and It is a marvel.” — URBAN EXCAVATIONS
“PHENOMENAL... What gives "Turning Page" its edge, apart from skilled writing and fine direction from Wilson Milam, is the uncanny performance from Angelica Page...To say that she inhabits her mother's skin is an understatement...”
– BroadwayWorld

ANGELICA PAGE is an American actress and writer who has appeared frequently onstage on- and off-Broadway, earning an Outer Critic’s Circle nomination for best Solo Performance, the Helen Hayes Award for Best Actress, and the New York People’s Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has appeared in numerous films and television programs and self-penned the critically acclaimed one-woman show Turning Page which her new memoir BOUNTIFUL: Growing up with Geraldine Page is based on.
TURNING PAGE is a sophisticated, funny and deeply compelling play about legendary actress Geraldine Page — a magical opportunity to personally encounter one of the most influential, celebrated and private American artists of the 20th century.Written by the subject’s only daughter, award winning actor/writer Angelica Page and directed by Tony® Award nominated Wilson Milam, Turning Page tells master craftswoman Geraldine Page’s remarkable journey — one of an iconoclast and trail blazer whose sparkling career earned her a record-breaking eight Academy® Award-nominations and whose untimely death in 1987 deprived us of one of entertainment’s most dazzling figures until now.
BOUNTIFUL: Growing up with Geraldine Page is the highly anticipated biographical memoir written by the only daughter of the late actress. Based on her critically acclaimed self-penned solo play Turning Page, it includes an introduction by Los Angeles Times chief theater critic Charles McNulty. This is the first ever book written about the legendary Oscar winner Geraldine Page, and gives the reader a detailed, intimate one-of-a-kind examination of her luminous body of work as well as her challenging private life with Angelica’s infamous father, actor Rip Torn; her relationships with legends such as Actor’s Studio founder Lee Strasberg, First Lady Jackie Kennedy, singer Janis Joplin, poet Maya Angelou, playwright Tennessee Williams, and her star-crossed love affair with James Dean.
Angelica skillfully weaves in stories of her own coming of age: on the road with her mother as a child; the shift into a rebellious teen; learning to swim in Grace Slick’s guitar shaped pool; hanging out with Twiggy in London; navigating a chaotic home life that drove her from their Chelsea brownstone into the 1980’s punk rock scene of CBGB’s, the Mudd Club, and Max’s Kansas City.
This book is as much a theatrical history lesson as a first-person survival guide to life in the fast lane. A love song sung by a daughter (who knows where the bodies are buried) to a remarkable artist we must not forget anytime soon.
This read is not only for those of us old enough to know who Geraldine Page is, but also an essential toolkit to help illuminate a path for every person on a journey toward their own artistic magistry.
