Michael Elphick by Kate Elphick

Michael Elphick was a young electrician working at the Chichester Theatre when he was discovered by Laurence Olivier, who arranged for him to join the Central School of Drama. It was here where he met Bruce Robinson, who would later cast him in one of the most popular British films of all time - Withnail and I. However, Elphick's private life was every bit as varied as his acting career. Racked by alcoholism and devastated by the early death of his partner, Elphick himself died at the age of 55. This biography, written by his daughter Kate and friend Nigel Denison, recalls the life of the popular actor.
Kate Elphick and Nigel Denison are ideally placed to write the first biography of Michael Elphick, as Kate is his only child and Nigel was a close friend of Michael's for many years.
