Beschreibung

'A sense of delight permeates Gyles Brandreth's John Gielgud: An Actor's Life Brandreth combines neat reportage, deft evocation and lovely tales about a man he knew and relished.' The Times'A delightful memoir which tells you all you need to know and collects all the anecdotes.' Daily MailJohn Gielgud was born in April 1904. When he died in May 2000, he was honoured as 'the giant of twentieth-century theatre'. In this updated, acclaimed biography, Gyles Brandreth draws from over thirty years of conversations with Gielgud to tell the extraordinary story of a unique actor, film star, director and raconteur.In 1921 Gielgud made his first appearance at the Old Vic in London and through the next eight decades he dominated his profession initially as a classical actor, later in plays by Harold Pinter and Alan Bennett. In his twenties he had appeared in silent movies; more than half a century later, he emerged as a Hollywood star, winning his first Oscar at the age of seventy-eight.With wonderful anecdotes, and contributions from Kenneth Branagh, Alec Guinness, Paul Scofield, Donald Sinden, Judi Dench and Peter Hall, John Gielgud: An Actor's Life is a compelling, humorous and moving account of a remarkable man.
