Reviews

[Mick Meyers · Rating 4 out of 5]

First one to review this book,a good honest read of an actor not comfortable with his choice of career or choices of film roles.i think he should have stayed in Britain and probably grown into a competent character actor.i stead chanced his luck in Hollywood who took him on contract and then not knowing what to do with him he is not on his own in this situation,Hollywood trawls for talent not so much now as when Michael's years there,doesn't want it but doesn't want anybody else to have it.as for his marriage to liz Taylor he wasnt the only actor she ruined.hopefully he found a glimmer of serenity with Margaret Leighton before being cruelly snatched from him.
