Ashley Judd joins the ranks of self-reflective celebrities this coming week with the release of her memoir, All That Is Bitter & Sweet. From the sounds of it, though, her life has been mostly bitter. She chronicles multiple incidents of sexual abuse and molestation, attempted rape, suicidal ideation, repressed memories of incest, and witnessing her mother Naomi Judd fighting with men. Small wonder she traces her history of depression back to when she was just seven years old, and says she still struggles with it.
Ashley also chronicles her international humanitarian work, referring to it as her “calling,” and – here’s the sweet part – her marriage to car racer Dario Franchitti.
