A Great Read
I am very nosey so love reading autobiographies. This one didn't disappoint. Though Liz Fraser was a frequent name dropper,I do find it interesting finding out what celebrities were really like. To be honest she didn't say a bad word about any stars she worked with and seemed to have a great relationship with most of them. If you are a fan of the Carry On's then you will find it fascinating. A lovely read throughout.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

An insightful eye into the acting profession.
For anyone interested in the arts this book covers a golden age of British comedy in films and theatre.
Great anecdotes come thick and fast and the backstories to cult British films are made available.
There are good cautionary tales too that any aspirant to the acting profession should heed, not just avoiding the "casting couch" but how to handle the financial future side of things and how to take criticism on the chin then get out there and do a good job anyway.
There is no shirking either from times when things were not so enjoyable, strong, matter of fact information
But hey!, its light, thoroughly enjoyable, the book clips along and as with any well written memoir one remembers past times and the golden glow that comes from watching classic performances given by a polished actress and cast.
Now off to buy some more Ealing comedy. Well done Liz, top job!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Lovers of British films and tv should read this
Liz's autobiography describes a London that fizzled out 20 years ago. It is full of anecdotes about screen stars of old. Appreciate her films again with the extra background provided by this book. The bridge player, canny investor and actress all in one.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

What a life
Liz's career spans to change form post war prudishness to naughty nineties and more. She epitomises the glamour and cheekiness of the age and for me as Mrs Pike in the film I wanted to collect the book.
The chapters on her battle with cancer and work for charity are especially emotional and up lifting.
A beautiful woman in every sense and the book chronicles the ups and downsVollständige Rezension lesen...
