Book description
This is my autobiography, the exciting story of how I, Ronald
Corbett, the son of an Edinburgh baker, became convinced that I had to
seek my fortune and become an actor, of how I pursued that goal, found
fame on television as one of The Two Ronnies, and managed to meet a
fabulous cast of extraordinary people along the way.
First I'll take you back to my schooldays and reveal the technique I
developed for estimating the height of a girl before daring to ask her
to dance. I'll explain how I first met David Frost, John Cleese and
Michael Palin, and shamelessly reveal how I once played Othello to
Danny La Rue's Desdemona, having just had dinner with Laurence
Olivier. I'll also tell you about the time I was suddenly struck down
by a mysterious illness that destroyed my sense of balance and
prevented me from going on stage for several years.
Altogether I must admit.
