Description: D’Artagnan Books This is a signed first edition in good condition. It was published by Hodder and Stoughton in 2001. The signature is on paper, dated 1941 and neatly stuck to the title page. 'Sir John Gielgud's acting career was among the most distinguished of his generation. In a lifetime that lasted nearly a century, he appeared in hundreds of theatrical productions and films, receiving virtually every acting honour given, including an Academy Award for his performance as Hobson the butler in the film Arthur. Now, in this insightful authorised biography, written with unprecedented access to Gielgud's diaries and personal letters, author Sheridan Morley traces not only the actor's career, but gives a refreshingly frank look into Gielgud the man, and how his professional success as an actor often came at the expense of his personal happiness.'
