Dear Yootha...

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Dear Yootha...That's how people would start. They would write to Yootha about their most intimate problems, so convinced were they of her performance as Mildred in the sitcom 'George and Mildred'. This sexually frustrated, vulnerable yet predatory character had reached such levels of believability, that some were convinced that Yootha would be the one to sort out their worries. "I'm no Marjie Proops darling, but I try to help in my simple way," Looking at Yootha's long career, you wonder where she'd been before her phenomenal success. 'George and Mildred', in which she played alongside Brian Murphy, was one of the most successful TV sitcoms of the Seventies. TV success also saw both actors branching out, achieving record audiences on stage, at summer seasons in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.Where had Yootha come from? What training had she had? What kind of person was she? Most importantly, what went wrong when her success became a problem? All this I attempt to discover in this fascinating insight into her life.REVIEWS"Curran does an excellent job""Dear Yootha... achieves what a good biography ought to do: it paints a human picture of its subject matter""Thorough and absorbing""Commendably researched""Endearing""A compulsive and moving read" "Full of in-depth quotations from those who knew her best, as well as an admirable amount of detail about her personal life and career""Full of contributions from surviving big names in the industry - a valuable addition to the universal story of the pressures of fame and the traps that success inevitably brings"GREG JAMESON - Entertainment-Focus.com 15/11/2014

Jumpers
Author: Tom Stoppard
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802195385
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Tom Stoppers's play "Jumpers" is both a high-spirited comedy and a serious attempt to debate the existence of a moral absolute, of metaphysical reality, of God. Michael Billington in "The Guardian" described the play succinctly: "The new Radical Liberal Party has made the ex-Minister of Agriculture Archbishop of Cantebury, British astronauts are scrapping with each other on the moon, and spritely academics steal about London by night indulging in murderous gymnastics: this is the kind of manic, futuristic, topsy-turvy world in which Stoppard's dazzling new play is set. And if I add that the influences apparently include Wittgenstein, Magritte, the Goons, Robert Dhery, Joe Orton, and The Avengers, you will have some idea of the heady brew Stoppard has here concocted." The protagonist incude an aging Professor Of Moral Philosophy -- trying to compose a lecture on "Man -- Good, Bad or Indifferent" -- while ignoring a corpse in the next room; his beautiful young wife, an ex-musical comedy Queen, lasciviously entertaining his university boss down the hall; her husband's specially trained hare, Thumpers; and a chorus of gymnasts, Jumpers.

Mildred Pierce
Author: James M. Cain
Publisher: Vintage Crime/Black Lizard
ISBN: 0307772934
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
In Mildred Pierce, noir master James M. Cain creates a novel of acute social observation and devasting emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable. Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter.
