Public Places by Sian Phillips
The second part of Sian Phillips' life story covers her second marriage, to Peter O'Toole. They were one of the country's most glamorous couples, but as O'Toole's career took off with "Lawrence of Arabia" so Sian began to find her own increasingly sidelined. She describes the mad and impulsive times with the infamous hellraiser alongside the tempestuous, insecure and often lonely periods in their marriage. This account of Sian Phillip's life with one of the world's most famous actors also documents her subsequent third marriage to actor Robin Sachs.
