One of the UK's favourite comedy actresses with starring roles in Calendar Girls, Acorn Antiques and Dinnerladies tells her extraordinary and highly entertaining life story.
Celia Imrie is one of the best-loved actresses of her generation especially in comedy. Best known for her roles in Victoria Wood s shows, her autobiography is as hugely entertaining as her stage and TV performances.
Her first love was dancing, but rejected from the Royal Ballet School for being too big, she went on to develop anorexia in her efforts to shrink. She was hospitalised and treated with ECT which permanently scarred but didn t cure her. In the end, it was a good self-administered kick up the backside which worked and became a character-forming moment.
Hidden by huge hair and long smocked Laura Ashley dresses, Celia began her acting life soon playing the role of A Sausage in Sinbad the Sailor. Never daunted, always ready for the adventure Celia s road to success and to becoming one of our best-loved actresses is one of the warmest, funniest acting biographies ever written.
