About the book

"Star of stage and screen for half a century, Coral Browne was renowned for her dazzling performances, her glamour, her liberated attitude to sex, and her devastating wit." "Born in Australia, she emigrated to England and made her name on the West End stage opposite Robert Morley in The Man Who Came to Dinner. She starred in the premiere of Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw in her exclusive Balmain underwear, and made many iconic performances in films such as The Killing of Sister George, Auntie Mame, The Ruling Class and Dreamchild. Her famous lovers included Maurice Chevalier, Paul Robeson, Cecil Beaton, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Gay men adored her, for her sense of camp and her rapier wit. Some even succumbed to her physical charms." "She married Vincent Price in 1974 and they became one of Hollywood's most popular and colourful celebrity couples. Rose Collis's definitive biography draws on interviews with friends and family, and a wealth of previously unpublished material, including correspondence with Alec Guinness and love letters between Coral and Vincent, to produce a fascinating portrait of a remarkable and truly original star."--Jacket.
