Coral Browne by Rose Collis
Tells the story of the extraordinary life of the actress Coral Browne, who is remembered for her performances, her glamour, her liberated attitude to sex and her often-savage wit.
'The fruitiest Browne anecdotes are contained within this poisonously enjoyable bookAs a biographer, Rose Collis ... ensures that her work does not degenerate into the literary equivalent of a night of after-show anecdote-tennis over the tablecloths of Joe Allen's.'Independent on Sunday, October 28, 2007'Rose Collis' biography is hugely entertaining and awesomely well researched...Rose Collis' witty book goes beyond fag-hagiography to show Coral's fault as well as the generous spirit which made her "Darling Coral" to so many.' Daily Mail, October 12, 2007'Miss Collis...recognises and recounts, with cutting clarity, the less savoury side of the aging, fading star.'The Spectator, October 3, 2007
