Product Description

Product Description

His resume of roles includes Macbeth, Cyrano de Bergerac, Ebenezer Scrooge and Oedipus Rex. His career has encompassed theatre and television in England, Canada and the United States. With a gift for developing offbeat characters, Barry Morse has had a prolific acting career, and the story of his life is a veritable history of 20th century theatre from the days before World War II through the early 21st century. In this memoir, Morse traces his life and career, including his years at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, his radio jobs with the BBC, his 60-year marriage to actress Sydney Sturgess and their years together in the Court Players, his roles on television shows ("The Fugitive", "Space: 1999"), and his acquaintance with literary lights (George Bernard Shaw) and screen stars (Robert Mitchum and Peter Cushing). Photographs from the Morse family collection are included.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gentleman Actor, 1 Sep 2008
I had the great honour to meet Barry Morse. He came up to Manchester to see if he could help our fledgling theatre company and he invited me to visit him in his Pall Mall apartments with his charming wife Sydney. So, reading this book I could hear his voice telling me this fascinating life that included a hard-knock cockney childhood, strokes of quite uncanny luck and anecdotes about such luminaries as Dustin Hoffman, Noel Coward, GB Shaw and Yul Brynner (that last one was an eye opener!).

Barry Morse was not just great actor but he was a great human being and reading this book fills you like a good wine.
