'I've always been wilful...I've always been stubborn & always determined' One of our best-loved actresses, Celia Imrie would rather have been a dancer. As a child she planned to join the Royal Ballet & marry Rudolf Nureyev. Now she has become one of our finest & funniest performers, on stage, TV & screen
- adored for her roles in Acorn Antiques & dinnerladies, as well as films including Calendar Girls & Nanny Mc Phee. In her hugely entertaining autobiography Celia Imrie recounts a life hurtling (not always intentionally) into adventures both on stage & off. Whether it's finding herself on stage with half the scenery stuck to her cardigan, or being kidnapped on her way to location.

The size of this book is 24cm in height & 16cm wide with 312 pages
