A Particular Friendship by Dirk Bogarde
A selection of letters written by Dirk Bogarde to an American woman between 1967 and 1972. He never saw or spoke to her, yet at times he was writing her a letter each day. The correspondence began when she saw a magazine photograph of him, outside a house where she lived in the 1930s.Sir Dirk Bogarde (1921-1999) was an English actor and novelist. Initially a matinee idol, Bogarde later acted in art-house films such as Death In Venice; between 1947 and 1991, Bogarde made more than sixty films.
In his writing career, as well as completing six novels, Bogarde wrote several volumes of autobiography. For over two decades he lived in Italy and France, which was where he began to write seriously. In 1985 he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters by the University of St Andrews and in 1990 was promoted to Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government.
Sir Dirk Bogarde has a legion of fans to this day - an extraordinary commitment to an extraordinary man.
