Just Julie

For twenty-five years, Julie Goodyear became part of everyone's family when she played Bet Lynch, the loveable brassy barmaid of the Rovers Return in Coronation Street. Now, at sixty-four (the age her mother was when she died), Julie feels the time is right to tell her amazing story.
Julie's father walked out on the family soon after her birth and since then her life's trajectory has taken Julie from an impoverished upbringing in Manchester to becoming one of the most-loved actresses on our TV screens. Her personal life beyond Coronation Street has included three marriages, a nervous breakdown, being diagnosed with cervical cancer, given one year to live, and being charged with fraud. In this book, Julie also talks frankly about her same-sex relationships, the betrayals she's suffered over the years, as well as the many wonderful friendships she's made during her career.
