About this product

Product Information

'There is no one on earth quite so wonderful' STEPHEN FRY Award-winning actor, creator of a myriad of memorable characters from Lady Whiteadder to Professor Sprout, Miriam Margolyes is a national treasure. Now, at last, at the age of 80, she has finally decided to tell her extraordinary life story. And it's far richer and stranger than any part she's played. Find out how being conceived in an air-raid gave her curly hair; what pranks led to her being known as the naughtiest girl Oxford High School ever had; how she ended up posing nude for Augustus John aged 17, being sent to Coventry by Monty Python and the Goodies and swearing on University Challenge (she was the first woman to say F*** on TV). This book is packed with unforgettable stories from why Bob Monkhouse was the best (male) kiss she's ever had to being told off by the Queen. With a cast list stretching from Scorsese to Streisand, Leonardo di Caprio to Isaiah Berlin, This Much is True is as warm and honest, as full of life and surprises, as she is.

  • Book in great condition and it's a good read

    Very pleased with the condition of the book as it was to be a gift. I like a hardback where possible for the better reading experience. The book has been well reviewed but it's always a gamble if a book will be well received. As it happens my partner found it well written and entertaining. It's exactly what you might expect of Miriam Margolyes. She is a very naughty girl!

  • Gifted, Outspoken and Funny

    Miriam Margolyes's achievements as an actress are awe-inspiring. She doesn't boast in her memoir, just describes them. She is bold and outspoken in her political views. Such honesty and vigour is refreshing. In places the book is extremely funny.
