Publisher's Summary
One of our best-loved actresses, Celia Imrie would rather have been a dancer. As a child she planned to join the Royal Ballet and marry Rudolf Nureyev. Now she has become one of our finest and funniest performers, on stage, TV and screen - adored for her roles in 'Acorn Antiques' and 'dinnerladies', as well as films including 'Calendar Girls' and 'Nanny McPhee'.
In her hugely entertaining autobiography, Celia Imrie recounts a life hurtling (not always intentionally) into adventures both on stage and off. Whether it's finding herself on stage with half the scenery stuck to her cardigan, or being kidnapped on her way to location, she somehow emerges from the chaos that can lie in her wake almost unscathed.
Acting, she admits, is a mad, chaotic profession and it is her refreshing honesty, sense of mischief, fun and almost unruffled determination in the face of it all that makes this autobiography a never-ending delight.

What an insight what a privilege
Loved so much I heard it twice !
I think I’ll hear it again too
Celia is my fave Brit on the Tele and film screens
Her personality and verve for life come through in whatever she performs
Oh dear though her idea of the true Aussie is so skewed
Please Celia we are not so uncultured and tacky
We are another England here in essence but we are outgoing usually optimistic love a party and inclusive
So please give us a good wrap in your next book
Anyway as an Anglophile I applaud this book and it was a beauty
Your reading of it was stunning
Thankyou Celia
