June Whitfield At A Glance: An Absolutely Fabulous Life
A British Comedy Award for Lifetime Achievement, a South Bank Show retrospective, a C.B.E. (she insists it means 'Caught Before Expiry'), twice the recipient of a red book on This Is Your Life and with every major comedy star of the last half-century amongst her most ardent admirers, June Whitfield is a legend: a legend who in her 80s still gets up at dawn to prepare for yet another day in front of the cameras.
In her long and rich career she has kept meticulous scrapbooks and these form the backbone to this highly illustrated account of her life and times. It is peppered with hilarious anecdotes and sage reflections on the cast of stars she has worked with as well as recounting some of the most iconic moments in comedy history. To no one else has the description 'National Treasure' been more appropriate.
