Book Description
Rena Fruchter was Dudley's concert piano partner, and the friend who looked after him in the final years of his life until his death at the age of 66. This is her intimate portrait of the extraordinarily brilliant, complex character that was Dudley Moore. During the last ten years of his life Dudley changed. He stepped off the podium and into real life. Physically life was difficult, professionally it was turbulent, but during his final years he blossomed, and in the midst of his illness from the debilitating effects of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, he found peace. Rena writes beautifully of Dudley's final years but also takes us back through his life story - conveying his inimitable talent, humour and vibrancy; evoking the atmosphere of a working-class upbringing in 1940s Britain, life in 1950s London and his relationship with Peter Cook, and the excesses of 1980s LA. With style and precision she unravels his personality, looks back at his childhood and career, weaving a moving and compelling story of a unique man.

Book Description
Judy Huxtable, a beautiful Swinging Sixties model and actress, met and fell in love with Peter Cook in 1967. They were together during the memorable hit shows 'Behind the Fridge' and 'Derek and Clive', divorcing in 1989. Being intimate with Peter meant that Judy was inevitably close to Peter's comic partner, Dudley Moore, and they all formed an extraordinary bond. She was in a unique position to observe the special relationship that Peter and Dud shared, and the rivalry that existed between them. In LOVING PETER, Judy gives a perceptive and poignant account of the Peter Cook that only she knew. She writes with a mix of humour, insight and sadness about one of the funniest, most enigmatic and troubled men on the planet. She describes what he was like as a husband, performer, friend, father and man and gives an inside view of what really made him tick; why he seemed to want to destroy those he loved the most; how he succumbed to the destructive forces of drink and drugs; and how he and Dudley really got on.

Book Description
Magnanimous in charm, diminutive of stature, turbulent in love - Dudley Moore, a permanent fixture in gossip columns and female affections, has been one of Hollywood's most unlikely sex symbols. Four marriages, countless lovers and romantic links with many of the world's most beautiful women have proved that, like fine wine, his appeal merely becomes stronger by the year. Dudley Moore had an isolated childhood as the clubfooted son of a Dagenham railwayman. He was loved for the downtrodden part he played in his long-running, ground-breaking comic partnership with Peter Cook and the hit roles in 10 and Arthur that propelled him to superstardom. He had steamy, stormy marriages to Suzy Kendall, Tuesday Weld, Brogan Lane and Nicole Rothschild. He is now, sadly, suffering from progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
