I bought this book because, through many arcane marriages, I am a step cousin of a branch of the Goldsteins (aka Bernhards, they, too, changed their names). There was always a lot of talk about their cousin, Harriet. It's not often one has the chance to read about someone whose name was bandied about frequently and whom I met once. Even my 93 year old mother who has a hard time remembering what day it is knew exactly who I was talking about when I told her about the book.So, it was a shock to find out someone who was mentioned in only the most glowing terms and who was most gracious to me during our very brief meeting might not be the paragon I was always told she was. I must admit to a bit of schadenfreude: certainly there was no one in my family who had achieved anywhere near the heights I was told she had and I would have loved to counter with someone. I was of an age and so dazzled by anyone connected to the movies she could have sucked me in with very little effort, but I was of little interest to her. While this review is more about me than the book, I don't think I could offer objective review. But, god, the memories it brought back.
In a memoir, the author's most personal thoughts and recollections are on offer and the result can be very difficult to read. This seems true with Michael Frank's "The Mighty Franks: A Memoir". But what is difficult to read must have been excruciating to actually live through. Frank grew up in Los Angeles in a family so marked by the malevolence of one family member, his aunt Harriet Frank, Jr, whose lifetime of narcissistic behavior terrorised the family for sixty years. Michael Frank doesn't use the word "narcissist" to describe his aunt, but her behavior mimics the narcisstic behavior of several people I know. If you read the book, you may use a different term to describe "Hanky", depending on your experience with such a malevolent person.Michael Frank's aunt and uncle are real people, who have Wikipedia entries. His uncle, Irving Ravetch, and his aunt, Harriet Frank, Jr,(known as "Hanky") were noted screenwriters in the 1950's to 1980's. They worked primarily with director Martin Ritt. (You should read their Wiki entries before reading the book.) Michael was their nephew - a double nephew, at that, because his mother was Irving Ravetch's sister and his father was Harriet Frank's brother. A cozy combination which made for a cozy family unit, whose members lived a few blocks from each other in the Hollywood hills. To make matters even cozier, the two grandmothers shared an apartment after their respective husbands died. Both couples lived in and out of the other's homes, and the Frank's three sons were thought of a surrogate sons for Irving and Hanky, who had no children. However, the Ravetch's, particularly Hanky, seemed to prefer young Michael to his brothers, and, indeed, to anyone other than her husband. She was the "Auntie Mame" to his Patrick and showered him with gifts and attention. But the attention was that of his place in Hanky's world. She was the sun, he was planet circling. He finally rebelled in his late teens but by then Hanky's malevolence to him and the rest of the family continued unabated.Michael Frank's memoir begins when he was a child and continued up through Irving's death in 2010 and to Hanky's continued existence. He spares little of the "true" Hanky Ravetch and her wretched influence in his book. It's a fascinating book, as memoirs often are.
This book was slow-going for me at first, but then it picked up and the deeper it went into Harriet Frank, Jr.'s completely twisted personality, the more it gripped me. This woman was a study in self-absorption and terror plus an enormous need for power over others and control! And all of these traits were simply abided by her very tolerant husband. I could not get over him! Her adoration of her one nephew (out of three) was definitely pathological and destructive to him, but she could or would not recognize that. Childless herself, she grabbed onto this boy ferociously and way beyond what was normal. She rendered his poor parents almost powerless. She was definitely a force! The outcome for him is worth reading the book to find out. And she lived to be 100!
This memoir beautifully captures the seductive yet also destructive relationship that Frank had with his childless aunt, a powerful force in his upbringing who essentially steamrollered his parents into letting her mold him into her acolyte. His aunt was also that rarity then and now, a successful and powerful female Hollywood screenwriter. The book's glimpse into her work world isn't very deep, but satisfying nonetheless. Where Frank's aunt's behavior is concerned, he doesn't use the word "narcissist," but the concept haunts every page, and is especially evident in the final chapters of his aunt's life, after she loses her health, husband, and vitality. Then, without batting an eyelash, she turns her exploitative and exhibitionistic energy to other areas, revealing that essential shallowness of personal engagement so typical of someone with her condition. My only issue with the book, and it is a minor one, is that Frank himself at times feels insubstantial, at least in his portrait of himself as adult. But overall this is an important book for the portrait it paints of an unusual woman and the triangle she created between herself, a young boy, and his family.
