Look forward to your rating. Picked up a mint copy only a couple of weeks ago at my favorite bookshop for less than $A10!

The book is very entertaining. I'll just say the passages about the on-set friction between Hopkins and Bette Davis are a hoot. The tricks Hopkins would play, not just with Davis, but other actors as well - not to mention the poor directors. The shaking scene in Old Acquaintance? I'm really surprised Davis didn't knock Hopkins on her rear. Hopkins was a good actor, but she was a piece of work.
