Telling Some Tales by Anna Massey
An autobiography of Anna Massey, who, in 2005, was awarded a CBE for services to drama. After all the vicissitudes and upsets, Anna ends her book with the story of personal happiness, achieved without make-up, lighting or script. It does not kiss and tell, or tell tales out of school; but is a funny and emotional account of a life intensely lived.
Anna Massey has been a successful actress for fifty years. Her career has spanned a wide range. In the cinema she has worked with many of the great directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Powell, Otto Preminger and Fred Zinneman. But perhaps her favourite performances have been in the theatre - among those being The Miracle Worker, Heartbreak House, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Mary Stuart. For television she won a BAFTA Award for her performance in Anita Brookner's Hotel du Lac, and she starred very memorably in the title role of Gwen John, and also in Trollope's He Knew He Was Right. On radio her voice is familiar to many from plays and documentaries, most recently narrating the history of Britain in This Sceptred Isle, which has brought her a whole new audience.
