<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>'A highly readable work ... Niven emerges as gallant and gracious.' <em>Chicago Tribune</em></p> <p>Sheridan Morley wrote this biography of the consummate on-screen English gentleman after speaking to over 150 of Niven's friends and colleagues (only Rex Harrison refused). The result is a picture which both supports and contradicts the charming vagabond persona depicted in Niven's own bestselling memoirs.</p> <p>While millions throughout his life were enchanted by Niven's happy-go-lucky charisma and world-class anecdotage, he was in many respects a private figure, haunted by a fear of failure, and a victim of several key tragedies in his personal life. Morley's biography is a warm, appreciative but perceptive account which captures both sides of one of Hollywood's most enduringly lovable figures.</p> <p>'a compassionate account that goes past the blithe persona ... yet, there is much humor--the actor's and his biographer's--in this notable book' <em>Publishers Weekly</em></p> <p>'Head and shoulders above the average showbiz biography ... He understands many of Niven's deeper feelings' <em>John Mortimer, Sunday Times</em></p> <p>'A well-told story ... the darker side as well as the mask of a complex and perhaps desperate character. He was a life-enhancer off-screen as well as on' <em>The Times</em></p> <p>'Shrewd and pleasing; shows how dark Niven's moon could be' <em>Alexander Walker, Evening Standard</em></p>
