Non-Fiction Biography
An
element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even
before he
first rose to fame with his outstanding performance in
Another Country.
He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people,
and has
witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the
fall of
communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and at
home in
downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of
seventeen he was
friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then
he has been
up close and personal with some of the most famous women in
the world:
Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone, and Donatella Versace.
Whether
sweeping the stage for the Royal Shakespeare Company or
costarring with
Faye Dunaway and an orangutan in Dunstan Checks In (they
both took ages
to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy
and talent
to his life as he does to his career. Who else has lived in
Paris with
Beatrice Dalle, modelled for Versace and Valentino, been
possessed by
the spirit of Anthony Perkins, and played bridge with
Christopher
Isherwood? A superb raconteur and a keen observer of human folly
(especially his own), Rupert Everett turns his life into a
captivating
story of love, nostalgia, fame, glamour, gossip, and drama.
From the
eccentricities of the British upper classes to the madness of
Hollywood, from the Russian steppes to an Easter egg hunt in
Elizabeth
Taylor's garden, Everett reveals himself as a consummate
storyteller
and a charming guide to life lived in the fast lane.
