Synopsis

Vivid, intimate, and touching, this memoir reveals the real Patsy, from child star to Hollywood actress to leading lady of British television

Patsy Kensit is a child star who grew up in the public eye and has remained there ever since. Her life has been a roller-coaster mix of adventure, drama, and heartache, and here she shares her journey so far. She describes her extraordinary childhood, moving between the glamour of filming movies with Elizabeth Taylor and Mia Farrow and the tiny London council flat she shared with her parents and brother. Even as her career was taking off, she was living with the devastating knowledge of her beloved mother's incurable cancer and was forced to hide her father's criminal past. She also writes about the ups and downs of life as an actress in a career that has spanned four decades, from her roles in films like the iconic Absolute Beginners, Lethal Weapon 2, 21, and Oscar-nominated Angels and Insects to playing the uber bitch Sadie King in Emmerdale and, most recently, starring in Holby City.
