Joanna Lumley: The Biography

This is the first biography of Joanna Lumley, one of Britain's best-loved and most accomplished actresses, whose outrageous, champagne-swigging, bee-hived hedonist Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous is acknowledged as one of the great TV characters of the 90s. For over four decades, since she became a top model in the 60s, Joanna has remained an endlessly fascinating figure and is now regarded as somewhat of a national treasure. Meticulously researched, the book draws on interviews with relatives, friends, and co-stars to produce an astonishingly revealing portrait of one of Britain's most likeable stars.
