Story
Jon Pertwee's acting career began with a public performance at the age of four. He seems to have been expelled from most of the schools his actor-writer father, Roland Pertwee, sent him to and finally joined RADA in 1936. From there, too, he was asked to leave. Jon went into Rep and had a checkered career. In Brighton panic set in when he dressed as an old gardener in Love from a Stranger instead of as a young cleric in Candida.

Joan Collins has been a diarist from the age of 12, writing enthusiastically over the years. She dictated most of these entries in real time into a mini-tape recorder at the end of the day, and now she is spilling the beans - well, nearly all of them. What you will discover was written when Joan 'felt like it' between 1989 and 2009. Whether it is an encounter with a superstar or a member of the royal family, or her keen and honest insights into other celebrities at dinner parties and events, Joan is honest and unapologetic.

A Passion for Poison tells the absorbing life of master poisoner, Graham Young, who killed many 10s of people in a murderous career, which began as a 13 year-old schoolboy in a North-west London suburb, with the murder of his step-mother in 1960 before culminating in four further life sentences in 1971.

Today, however, Rock Hudson might be better known for his personal life. Acting in a more conservative era, Hudson struggled to keep his homosexuality out of the news, for fear it would destroy his career, even though many of his Hollywood contemporaries were aware of it.

He's done it again!
- By Christopher Pryce on 14-10-21
Summary
Immortalised through her roles in 24 of the iconic Carry On films, Joan Sims remains one of Britain's best-known comedy legends.
For five decades - through more than 70 film appearances and work on stage, television, and radio - she captured the hearts of audiences around the world. Yet behind the laughter was heartache and personal torment as the incredibly private actress battled depression, insecurity, loneliness and alcoholism.
In this authorised biography of Joan, Andrew Ross details her early years on stage and rise to stardom in theatre revue, her failed romances and the intense bond with her parents which ultimately led to the collapse of her one serious love affair.
Revealed is the truth about Joan's relationships with her Carry On co-stars (including Kenneth Williams who bizarrely proposed to her), the drink problem which forced her to spend time in a grim Victorian mental institute in the early 1980s, and the circumstances behind her reclusive final years and last months in hospital before her death in 2001.
With a cast of characters ranging from Sidney James and Kenneth Williams to Laurence Olivier and Katharine Hepburn, Joan's story, from a solitary and lonely childhood in 1930s Essex to her status as a national treasure in the 1990s, is one of professional success over personal heartache achieved through immense determination.
Drawing on first-hand accounts from Joan's closest surviving friends and contemporaries including Barbara Windsor, Fenella Fielding, Dame Judi Dench and Sir Tom Courtenay, as well as exclusive material from her personal archive, what emerges is the story of a much-loved lady who battled private demons to become one of the finest and best-loved actresses of her generation.

A bit of this and a bit of that
Enjoyable in parts this audio book draws much from Joan Sims own autobiography with the addition of memories from family and friends but it goes too far in its personal revelations.
Had it focussed more the many and numerous light hearted anecdotes of her theatre and film career over and above what had already been published back in 2000 and less on digging into her own personal dark demons of alcoholism i would have given it five stars, as it is beautifully read, But sadly it was more like a Sunday tabloid expose. Disappointing.
