Product Description
In this newly updated edition of his bestselling autobiography, John Gielgud tells the story of his life in the theatre, from the time of the great acotre-managers like Tree and duMaurier and star actresses like Sarah Bernhardt and his own great -aunt Ellen Terry to his famous partnerships with Laurence Olivier and Ralph Richardson. With his own unique warmth and humour, he describes the plays he has starred in and directed, the films he has appeared in and the actors he has known, from James Mason, Marlon Brando and Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor, Mrs Patrick Campbell and Lisa Minnelli. 'A rare delight - full of wit, theatrical history, anecdotes and wisom' Diana Rigg 'I can hear his superb voice in every line of this book' - Alec Guinness. 'Funny, touching, brilliant, special, the best - exactly like John Gielgud' - Lauren Baccall.
