Inside Marilyn Monroe's DRAMATIC transformation from unknown nobody Norma Jeane into an on-screen icon In moments of despair like these, Fox doesn’t look to elites but to the future generations who she sees as already being invested in the same struggles she has been fighting for throughout her life. “It gives me hope to see little kids who’re like seven or eight years old at protests. They’re already so passionate about women’s rights or contraceptive rights,” she says. “When there are little boys marching with their moms, I’m like, ‘Okay, the youth is gonna save us.’” ISIS-linked murderers who shot dead British honeymooner and his wife during safari are killed by Ugandan...

Down the Drain by Julia Fox | Goodreads

Alone on atable big enough for aparty of six, she has akiller, razor-sharp confidence, paying her surroundings of loud, pot-bellied businessmen no mind. But when it’s time to talk, she lights up, and gets alittle wide-eyed. We can see the lasting impact in her DIY approach to creativity and an artistic career which has variously spanned photography, fashion design and, famously, appearing in the Safdie Brothers’ indie hit Uncut Gems , without any prior film experience. “I didn’t go and get my hair cut professionally. If I wanted my hair cut, I had to do it myself – if I wanted anything, I kind of had to learn how to do it myself, you know,” she reflects. “I’ve always been able to do a lot with very little resources and support, creating an abundance from that.”I have followed Julia for years, probably when the majority of non-New Yorkers heard about her. I loved her TikToks, her litany of zeitgeist seizing moments from her Juergen Teller shoot to her Ziwe appearance, and adored her performance in Uncut Gems, and similarly I made a mental note of her book release like everyone else with the viral “masterpiece” sound bite. So when I was eyeing purchasing this book, it had also come to my attention that Spotify had started including audiobooks on premium. This was perfect, of course I had to listen to the audiobook version read by Julia herself.

Iwas like, oh my god, my life flashed before my eyes. Iwas on the ceiling looking down and Isaw cereal [on the floor], agirl going through my bag and stealing my phone, and Isaw the drug dealer’s mum slapping me in the face and trying to wake me up, and praying over me in Spanish. And then Iwoke up in the ambulance. Even though Iwas in this horrible predicament, inside Ifelt like Ihad this secret. You know when you steal something and you’re guarding it, waiting to play with it later?Loose Women star looks completely UNRECOGNISABLE in horrifying costume for Halloween special... but can you guess who it is? Fox has always been up front about the fact that she was a sex worker, an addict, that she has endured extreme harm. In Down the Drain, she describes her parents as almost operatically neglectful — there are refusals to intervene after overdoses, affairs with best friends’ parents, and it sometimes takes weeks for them to notice their daughter is missing. She writes that she has overdosed more than once: as a teenager on PCP, coming to in an ambulance “with vomit all around,” and years later on a New Orleans trip involving trap houses, guns, and heroin. Best friends are ripped away via rehab or death, and Fox has a miscarriage in a bathroom bar without ever having known that she was pregnant. In an interview with Daze that was published on Tuesday, Fox spoke about her book and discussed her fame.
