Book description
Judy Huxtable, a beautiful Swinging Sixties model and actress, met and
fell in love with Peter Cook in 1967. They were together during the
memorable hit shows 'Behind the Fridge' and 'Derek and Clive', divorcing
in 1989. Being intimate with Peter meant that Judy was inevitably close
to Peter's comic partner, Dudley Moore, and they all formed an
extraordinary bond. She was in a unique position to observe the special
relationship that Peter and Dud shared, and the rivalry that existed
between them. In LOVING PETER, Judy gives a perceptive and poignant
account of the Peter Cook that only she knew. She writes with a mix of
humour, insight and sadness about one of the funniest, most enigmatic
and troubled men on the planet. She describes what he was like as a
husband, performer, friend, father and man and gives an inside view of
what really made him tick; why he seemed to want to destroy those he
loved the most; how he succumbed to the destructive forces of drink and
drugs; and how he and Dudley really got on. Judy Huxtable met Peter
Cook in 1967. They married in 1974, and divorced in 1989. Until now, she
has never revealed her story. Angela Levin is an award-winning
journalist and a successful ghostwriter. Her previous work includes
'Read All About It' by Max Clifford.
