About this product

Product Information

Show biz legends, modern day icons and sporting greats - Michael Parkinson has met them all. In Parky s People, Parky gives us a revealing account of some of his most unforgettable encounters and the moments that made TV history. He sets down on record the highlights of his interviews which provide an intimate insight into the private lives and personal characters of great celebrities from around the world, from John Lennon and Clint Eastwood, George Michael and Roald Dahl, to George Clooney and Barry Humphries. Now an international celebrity himself, the man from a humble but colourful Yorkshire mining family has teased the secrets out of even the most reticent star guests, such as Fred Astaire and Ingrid Bergman, and he has drawn fascinating new information and insights from even the most frequently interviewed subjects like Peter Ustinov, David Niven and Stephen Fry. Remarkable interviews with Edith Evans and Ben Travers demonstrate that Parkinson's empathy with the old is as evident as his easy familiarity with sportsmen like George Best, Muhammad Ali and David Beckham. Great comics such as Billy Connolly, Bob Hope, and Joan Rivers prove as funny on the page as on screen and it seems that the star of every Hollywood legend shines brightly under Parkinson's subtle questioning. With a little help from his friends, Parky's People is witty, always perceptive, often wise, and never less than compulsive reading.
