Ive always been wilful... Ive 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 its finding herself on stage with half the scenery stuck to her cardigan or being kidnapped on her way to location somehow she emerges from the chaos unscathed. Acting she admits is a mad chaotic profession & it is her refreshing honesty sense of mischief fun & almost unruffled determination in the face of it all that makes this autobiography a never-ending delight.
