Reseña de John Gielgud

John Gielgud de Gyles Brandreth Resumen del Libro

'A sense of delight permeates Gyles Brandreth's John Gielgud: An Actor's Life … Brandreth combines neat reportage, deft evocation and lovely tales about a man he knew and relished.' – The Times

'A delightful memoir which tells you all you need to know and collects all the anecdotes.' – Daily Mail

John Gielgud was born in April 1904. When he died in May 2000, he was honoured as 'the giant of twentieth-century theatre'. In this updated, acclaimed biography, Gyles Brandreth draws from over thirty years of conversations with Gielgud to tell the extraordinary story of a unique actor, film star, director and raconteur.

In 1921 Gielgud made his first appearance at the Old Vic in London and through the next eight decades he dominated his profession – initially as a classical actor, later in plays by Harold Pinter and Alan Bennett. In his twenties he had appeared in silent movies; more than half a century later, he emerged as a Hollywood star, winning his first Oscar at the age of seventy-eight.

With wonderful anecdotes, and contributions from Kenneth Branagh, Alec Guinness, Paul Scofield, Donald Sinden, Judi Dench and Peter Hall, John Gielgud: An Actor's Life is a compelling, humorous and moving account of a remarkable man.
