      Woman About Town

      A SLIGHT MOMENT of imposter syndrome as I, your woman about town, remember that my idea of “town” is the habitation of 11,000 people near to the village where I grew up. Town, to me, is the place where the shops close at lunchtime on market day, rath

      The Courage To Be Happy

      Feb 1, 2023

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

      I just re-read the chapter on Hudson Hawk and it's as fresh and funny as it was 10 years ago. Grant is a brilliant comic actor raised in Swaziland and London. His diaries are full of his acerbic wit and incisive commentary on the Hollywood film machine and its players. Grant is very likable and compulsively readable. Enjoy!
    • 5/5
      Richard E Grant writes as wittily as he speaks. You really get an insight into the vagaries of the film industry and the personalities of the actors, directors and producers he works with. Unfortunately, having read this book I really want to watch "Hudson Hawk" at some point, just to see how awful it really is.
    • 5/5
      An extremely well-written and fascinating story of Richard E Grant's early life (as retold in Wah-Wah) and his rise through film. The author is quite self-effacing about his success and very modest, quite refreshing.
