His acting was often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, critics lauded his music and virtuosity and his sidesplitting comical performances set new standards for fun. Dudley Moore: An Informal Biography examines the life and work of this comic genius and world-famous classical pianist.
Lavishly illustrated, this first-ever biography nails down all the details of Moore's long, tough climb to fame and fortune, his triumphs and failures on the British stage (including "Beyond The Fringe" and "Good Evening" with straight man Peter Cook) and BBC network ("Not Only...But Also"), his offscreen romances and marriages, his early and his dramatic fall from the top as Hollywood's "hottest sex symbol."
Filling the gaps are dozens of never-before-published photos to illuminate this famous entertainer's life.
143 pages - trade paperback - 82 illustrations.
