From Library Journal

Talented British actress Richard, best known for her character of Shirley Brahms in the hit comedy Are You Being Served? and her charismatic portrayal of Pauline on Eastenders, has written an impressive autobiography. Richard's career has spanned over 20 years in film, radio, theater, and television, and this book adds new dimension to this gifted performer. Richard's personal life has been full of struggle, including the loss of her father when she was a young child, three failed marriages, and two bouts with cancer. Her professional life, however, has been one of hard work and many successes. As a writer, Richard displays wit and humor and maintains an upbeat tone throughout. Her writing style is personal, logical, and easy to read, and she includes some wonderful anecdotes about the cast and filming of Are You Being Served?, Grace and Favour, and, of course, Eastenders. Yet despite these many strengths, the appeal of this well-written autobiography may be limited to fans of British television. Recommended for large libraries where there is interest.
