John Coldstream

Revealing and insightful portrait on the man, himself, and what an entertaning tome it is.His letters, over the years, were brutal, honest, cruel, not very subtle and very funny.

Detailed biography of British actor Dirk Bogarde with plenty of interviews with family, friends, and co-stars. However, Bogarde still remains an enigma as you still don't feel you know the real person. That is likely the way he wanted it as he was a private person. There were plenty of photographs. Found the book to be highly readable and didn't want to put it down.
