📗 Libro en inglés THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS

A fascinating tragic and instructive story vividly told Sunday Telegraph Roger Lewis in his no holds barred biography exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin Sellers was the grand master of fifty five films from Dr Strangelove to Being There and the Pink Panther hits But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence compulsive promiscuity drug abuse and humiliating self destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret Sophia Loren Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives Ann Hayes Britt Ekland Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them Sellers fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54 sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS It is a mad book but then the subject is a madman I love Lewis s passion I recommend it Sunday
