Resumen del Editor

The long-awaited memoir by movie and theatre legend Brian Cox.

A Guardian, Times, Sunday Times and Independent Book of the Year

*Featuring a foreword by the executive producer of Succession, Frank Rich, an executive producer of HBO's Succession, a former chief drama critic of The New York Times, and the author of the memoir Ghost Light.*

From Titus Andronicus with the RSC to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO's Succession, Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility. We know him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary life story.

Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the aftermath of his mother's nervous breakdowns and ultimate hospitalisation. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age of 15, you could say the rest is history—but that is to overlook the enormous graft that has gone into the making of the legend we know today.

This is a rags-to-riches life story like no other—a seminal autobiography that both captures Cox's distinctive voice and his very soul. Rich in emotion and meaning, with plenty of laughs along the way, it will be a classic in the vein of The Moon's a Balloon by David Niven and What's It All About by Michael Caine.

Splendid

I never thought I’d have any interest in an actor’s autobiography. Brian Cox is a stage beast as he was called, an amazing actor, and now as I learned - a thoroughly interesting, funny, witty and kind individual.
Hearing him narrate his own book, with the Scottish accent but PERFECTLY understandable diction - was riveting. I laughed, I learned and I was moved.
May we be so lucky as to see much more of him.

A Success
