Dear Dudley: Life and Laughter - A celebration of the much-loved comedy legend by Barbra Paskin

Barbra Paskin was the late Dudley Moore's official biographer, having known him well for many years. In this latest book, she provides an affectionate celebration of this extraordinary comic and musical talent. Although the book examines his extraordinary life and career from the ground-breaking stage revue Beyond the Fringe, followed by his long association with Peter Cook that produced such immortal television programmes as Not Only . . . But Also, to Hollywood stardom with films like 10 and Arthur, it is more than a biography. Uniquely, Dear Dudley also publishes for the first time a selection of the many kind, comforting, and often extremely funny letters that the author obtained from more than 100 leading celebrities to mark Dudley's 64th birthday, from the Rolling Stones to Michael Caine, Billy Joel to Paul McCartney, Goldie Hawn to Woody Allen - all of whom have given permission for them to be reproduced in the book.

Barbra Paskin is a British journalist who writes arts and entertainment stories for newspapers, magazines and broadcast around the world. She was the BBC's first Hollywood correspondent in the late 1970s, and at that time was the only female and the youngest member of the British press corps in Los Angeles, where she still lives. She also writes books, publishes photo essays, and writes and produces radio programmes for the BBC and American radio.
