alec guinness - a positively final appearance torrent

Book Jacket:

Engaging, observant and revealing, the new volume of memoirs from one of Britain's greatest actors.

Alec Guinness's journal for the years 1996 to 1998 takes us from the razzmatazz of the last general election to more personal events: an eye operation, travel at home and abroad and the approach of a diamond wedding anniversary. Sir Alec also muses on some entertaining stories from the past. He tells us of a disastrous production of Romeo and Juliet, of the way he is haunted by Star Wars, and of the friends, family and beloved animals with whom he shares his life.

Alec Guinness is one of Britain's most celebrated actors. He has won two Oscars, one of which was a special award for his contribution to film, and three BAFTA awards. He was knighted in 1959 and in 1994 was made a Companion of Honour.

Running time approx. three hours Abridged on three CDs.
