A highly readable work ... Niven emerges as gallant and gracious. Chicago Tribune Sheridan Morley wrote this biography of the consummate on-screen English gentleman after speaking to over 150 of Nivens friends and colleagues (only Rex Harrison refused). The result is a picture which both supports and contradicts the charming vagabond persona depicted in Nivens own bestselling memoirs. While millions throughout his life were enchanted by Nivens 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. Morleys biography is a warm, appreciative but perceptive account which captures both sides of one of Hollywoods most enduringly lovable figures. a compassionate account that goes past the blithe persona ... yet, there is much humor--the actors and his biographers--in this notable book Publishers Weekly Head and shoulders above the average showbiz biography ... He understands many of Nivens deeper feelings John Mortimer, Sunday Times 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 The Times Shrewd and pleasing; shows how dark Nivens moon could be Alexander Walker, Evening Standard
