Product Description: Bruce Forsyth is known to millions as the face of such family entertainment classics as The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, and The Price is Right. But his story encompasses much more than this, spanning more than two-thirds of the 20th century. In the late-1950s, the show Sunday Night at the London Palladium made Bruce Forsyth a star, but it had been a long hard slog since his debut as Boy Bruce, the Mighty Atom in 1942, aged 14 - working for the Red Cross during the war. This is Bruce's first account of his whole life, full of anecdotes, honest appraisals of the tough times, including the failed marriages and affairs, and comments on entertainment today.

Fox, Michael J.

Lucky Man: A Memoir

VGC. Ebury Press, 2002. First UK edition-4th printing(5 7 9 10 8 6 4). Black hardback(gilt lettering to the spine, small nick on the edge of the cover) with Dj(very small tear, a couple of creases, nicks and scratch on the edges of the Dj cover), both in VGC. Illustrated with b/w photos. Nice and clean pages but slightly yellow on the outer edges, a couple of creases, small nick and light shelf wear on the edges of the pages. 260pp. Price un-clipped. Review: Michael J Fox found fame in the Eighties in the Back to the Future movie franchise; in the Nineties he starred in the hit US TV show Spin City; and for most of his career he kept secret his illness: Parkinson's Disease. These memoirs do not recount the usual Hollywood tale of stardom won, lost and won again (clearing up after the chemical implosion, the basic recovery narrative), but deliver a less common tale of consistent professional accomplishment achieved against the odds. But Parkinson's is predominantly a late-life ailment and Lucky Man is therefore inescapably a bad luck story: in medical history the recovery chapter for Parkinson's is still unwritten. But the retired actor turned author has turned terminal misfortune to good use, not least by writing a book that demonstrates that even sickness can be a gift when an attempt is made to understand it properly.

Dear Fatty

VGC plus. Century, 2008. First UK edition-first printing(2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1). Black hardback(gilt lettering to the spine, small nick and scratch on the cover) with Dj(some nicks, creases and scratch on the Dj cover), both in VGC. Nice and clean pages with a ink mark on the outer edges, a couple of creases and nicks on the edges of the pages. Nice and clean book with light shelf wear on the Dj cover. 368pp. Price clipped. Product Description: Dawn French is one of the greatest comedy actresses of our time, with a career spanning nearly three decades and encompassing a vast and brilliant array of characters that would eventually establish her as a national treasure. nShe first appeared on the British entertainment scene as part of the groundbreaking alternative comedy group, the Comic Strip, which marked a radical departure from the more traditional comedy acts of the time. Later came the all-female Girls on Top with Jennifer Saunders, Ruby Wax and Tracy Ullman. Then, as part of the wildly successful duo, French and Saunders, Dawn helped create a repertoire of brilliantly observed recurring characters parodying popular culture and impersonating everything from Madonna and Harry Potter to The Exorcist. Dawn's more recent role in The Vicar of Dibley again has showcased not only her talent but also her ability to take a controversial issue and make it mainstream and funny. n nFrom her early years as an RAF child to her flat-sharing antics with Jennifer Saunders, from her outspoken views on sizeism to her marriage to Lenny Henry, Dear Fatty will chronicle the fascinating and hilarious rise of a complex, dynamic and unstoppable woman.
