Sir Dirk Bogarde was an English actor and novelist. Initially a
matinee idol, Bogarde later acted in art-house films such as Death
In Venice. As well as completing six novels, Bogarde wrote several
volumes of autobiography.
Between 1947 and 1991, Bogarde made more than sixty films. For over
two decades he lived in Italy and France, where he began to write
seriously.
In 1985 he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters by
the University of St Andrews and in 1990 was promoted to Commandeur
de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government.
The autobiography comes full circle - appropriately enough, because
this is a book in which people come to terms with the past, make
peace with inner demons, learn to say goodbye to loved ones and
become sensitive, caring human beings
