The story of 'the greatest entertainer of the television age' based on extensive interviews with family, friends and contemporaries. Her life and career are traced from a lonely and neglected Lancashire childhood through a shy, unfulfilled student life to ultimate show business stardom and her own family life. Often spiky and demanding, she nevertheless gave and inspired great devotion in her close circle and was extending her range creatively before being cut short by sadly premature death. Above all she was uniquely funny and this book has plenty to make you laugh again.
