Peter Phelps is one of Australia's best-loved actors, regularly appearing in film, television and theatre productions. He is an AFI and Logie award winner and has directed episodes of All Saints and Home and Away.
In 1994 he wrote the bestselling book Sex without Madonna: True confessions of a hired gun in Tinseltown (a wry look at his years in Hollywood). His second book, The Bulldog Track, is a very personal account of his grandfather's incredible survival in New Guinea during WWII, and his escape by the 'other Kokoda trail'.
What a fabulous book! Peter’s insight into Hollywood in the early 90s as an Australian outsider is fascinating. Where has this book been hiding? How could it have so little readers? Maybe people don’t remember Peter Phelps, or the insanity that Baywatch caused, or social media is so prolific that this insider view is no longer relevant….or maybe as a GenX I just loved the nostalgia it brought.
