Rex
Author: Rex Harrison
Publisher: William Morrow &Company
ISBN: 9780688028817
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
The life story of the "spotty provincial boy from Liverpool" who overcame a lack of classical training and went on to forge a 50-year theatrical career. Harrison's dramatic perseverance -- through his early walk-on days with the Liverpool repertory players and years on tour throughout England -- paved the way for West End spotlights. A star of the stage since the late '30's, his move to the screen increased his popularity. Although his life can be reduced to a mélange of long-playing shows and shorter-lived marriages, Harrison's distinguished career has survived. Harrison himself confesses that writing his autobiography was not as self-revelatory as he'd hoped -- "an actor's life is lived too often and for too long on the surface" he asserts. This, then, is a relatively perfunctory, blithely spiritless self-portrait.

The Brief, Madcap Life of Kay Kendall
Author: Eve Golden
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813180740
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Comedic film actress Kay Kendall, born to a theatrical family in Northern England, came of age in London during the Blitz. After starring in Britain's biggest cinematic disaster, she found stardom in 1953 with her brilliant performance in the film Genevieve. She scored success after success with her light comic style in movies such as Doctor in the House, The Reluctant Debutante, and the Gene Kelly musical Les Girls. Kendall's private life was even more colorful than the plots of her films as she embarked on a series of affairs with costars, directors, producers, and married men. In 1954 she fell in love with her married Constant Husband costar Rex Harrison and accompanied him to New York, where he was starring on Broadway in My Fair Lady. It was there that Kendall was diagnosed with myelocytic leukemia. Her life took a romantic and tragic turn as Harrison divorced his wife and married Kendall. He agreed with their doctor that she was never to know of her diagnosis, and for the next two years the couple lived a hectic, glamorous life together as Kendall's health failed. She died in London at the age of 32 with her husband by her side shortly after completing the filming of Once More with Feeling!. This book was written with the cooperation of Kendall's sister Kim and includes interviews with many of her costars, relatives, and friends. A complete filmography and rare photographs complete this first-ever biography of Britain's most glamorous comic star.
