A fun and inciteful collection of letters sharing anecdotes and reviews by Diana Riggs circle of friends, colleague and acquaintances. Some choice examples are; Mr. G has the most meaningless legs imaginable. - Sir John Gielgud, ...she keeps her features obstinately immobile even when portraying crises of the first water, and it is only by watching her nostrils carefully for an occasional flare that one can get a clue as to how she's feel-ing at any particular moment. - Lauren Bacall, ...reminiscent of an over-large, over-animated Mr. Coffee Nerves. - Charlton Heston, Julie Christie should never, ever, be allowed to sing unaccompanied on stage again. - Julie Christie, Mr. Mosley went on to say that my Pinkie was about as close to the real thing as Donald Duck to Greta Garbo. - Richard Attenborough, He emits an air of overwhelming vanity combined with some unspecific nastiness, like a black widow spider on heat. - John Cleese.
