All of Me

When Patsy Palmer landed the part of Bianca on EastEnders at age 16, it was a dream come true for a girl who had grown up longing for stardom. Money and popularity followed, but soon afterwards Patsy found herself drowning in a sea of drugs and drink. It wasn’t until she had several near-death encounters and completely broke off her relationship with her beloved family that Patsy found a way to stop. This is the scrupulously honest account of how one of Britain’s biggest stars found happiness after a struggle that nearly cost her her children, marriage, and life.

Patsy Palmer was born Julie Harris. She worked as an actress starting at age eight before staring in EastEnders, where she made the part of Bianca a national icon. She now lives with her husband and three children, and runs her own cosmetics company.
