Croall Jonathan
Gielgud: A Theatrical Life 1904-2000
Continuum Intl Pub Group 2001. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks. Inside-front-top dustcover flap has been price-clipped. 580 pages. Illustrated with photos. Tight spine bright pages. ONLY writing/mark inside book is a gift inscription in book front: "Merry Christmas to Bill - From Jim - December 2001". NO tears inside book. Publishers Weekly Three-quarters of the way through this elegant finely researched biography it comes as something of a shock to discover that its subject one of the greatest actors of the last century had a mischievous sense of humor. Once just before sweeping onstage in a 1961 production of The Cherry Orchard Gielgud handed a fellow actor a cucumber and whispered "Put that somewhere for me will you" This moment is a great relief in part because Croall takes Gielgud so seriously that he seldom conveys the warmth and humor that the actor so often brought to his parts. Despite that shortcoming Croall editor of the National Theater's magazine StageWrite since 1991 has done tremendously thorough and sensitive work making extensive use of his interviews with more than 100 of Gielgud's co-stars and colleagues and selectively using such sources as memoirs journals and press clippings never substituting them for his own interpretations or observations. Gielgud made his mark on the British stage early on only three years after his 1921 London stage debut as a walk-on soldier in Henry V at the age of 20 he was cast as Romeo and worked in theater radio film and television almost until his death in 2000 at age 96. Although Croall is most interested in Gielgud's professional accomplishments he also provides a well-observed sense of the actor's personal life including his long-term relationship with the handsome and reclusive Martin Hensler. Croall also renders without sensationalism Gielgud's anguish when the tabloid press reported his humiliating 1953 arrest for cruising a public men's room audiences more forgiving than journalists greeted him with a standing ovation when he appeared on stage soon after the incident. Other biographies of Gielgud will no doubt be forthcoming but Croall has set a high standard. Apr. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Library Journal When Sir John Gielgud died last year at the age of 96 he left a legacy that included almost 80 years as an actor/director/producer. He worked in film radio and TV but most agree that the theater was his life. Despite being born with a "theatrical spoon in his mouth" his great-aunt was the famed actress Ellen Terry Gielgud had to struggle. He was an unlikely matinee idol but he eventually emerged as a popular interpreter of Shakespeare and influenced many of the "greats" especially Laurence Olivier. However despite Gielgud's theatrical achievements it would be over 60 years before he was "discovered" by mainstream audiences in the film Arthur. This is a painstakingly researched biography and the first of several recent British efforts to be published in the United States. It's not yet clear whether or not this will be the definitive work but it is far-reaching Croall interviewed over 100 Gielgud friends and colleagues and complete and captures the dichotomy that was John Gielgud. Recommended. Rosellen Brewer Monterey Cty. Free Libs. Salinas CA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Continuum Intl Pub Group Hardcover

His father's alcoholism and mother's early death cast a sad shadow over his childhood but whenat twenty-onehe married Jeanit was to be the beginning of a relationship which has lasted over forty years and seen them through both troubles and triumphs.Leslie was always destined for a career in entertainment.From drama school he worked his way through theatrevariety and radio until his television breakthrough arrived with the children's all-time favourite Crackerjack.With regular appearancestooon The Black & White Minstrel ShowLeslie was barely off our screens.A firm favouritehe has remained that way ever sincewith more recent successes including The Price is Right and Stars in their Eyes.Yet behind the scenesas Leslie vividly describeshe was fighting a long battle against alcoholism which came close to ruining his life and culminated in a period at Clouds House Treatment Centre in 1989. Through it all he has been supported by a strong faith and the love of his family - Jeantheir five children and many grandchildren.He has kept his passion for cricket andabove allhe has kept his sense of humour and learnt 'the bonus of laughter' in helping to survive the good times and the bad.
