Written with Dudley Moore's full co-operation, this illustrated biography examines every side of this complex man. Proving that there is more to Moore than the diminutive sex Symbol of "10" and the charming clown of "Arthur", Paskin explores Moore's personality and paradoxes with intelligence and compassion.

I am writing this review from the point of view of someone who loves Dudley Moore, but I think anybody would enjoy reading this book. It is so well written with care and attention to detail. It will make you laugh and break your heart at the same time.
It was written just before Dudley’s illness was diagnosed and Barbra Paskin says in her prologue “My one wish for him is that one day he will find the peace and happiness that has eluded him for most of his life, and which he so very much deserves.” Tragically the worst was yet to come. Life showed just how cruel and unfair it can be.
She also says “The life he was living with Nicole was destroying him.” I think the book inadvertently shows how his last wife, if not the cause of his illness, was very bad for his health.
But there are so many happier times to remember him by.
This book, Not Only… is an insight into the real Dudley Moore, But Also… is a comprehensive chronicle of all his work, his infectious comedy and his wonderful musical achievements. He had a touch of genius and I’ll miss him.

This is a large hardback library copy. I was not to concerned as the book itself was in excellent condition even if the main cover showed some signs of ware. If you want perfect then buy new but one look at the comparison in price and you will soon see why this was a great buy. very happy with this purchase.

This is an excellent account of Dudley's life. I read it immediately before reading Rena Fruchter's book about Dudley's last years (an equally good book). Barbara's book ends where Rena's book begins and so reading the two together gives you a complete account of Dudley's life and death. Before I started to read all I knew about Dudley were the general widely known facts - brilliant comedian and brilliant pianist, lots of hangups, very sexy. I am glad to have learnt more about someone who appears to have been basically a very nice man. Dudley was fortunate to have had two such good, platonic women friends who have written such moving accounts of his life and death.
