Best known for his film 'This Sporting Life', Anderson was a prickly and controversial figure within the film and theatre industry. He was associated with many star names including Richard Harris,Ralph Richardson,Bette Davis and Lillian Gish.
In these diaries he comes over as someone who feels put-upon by just about everyone, and his cruel comments within the pages of his diaries are directed at the famous and less-famous in turn.
