Dudley Moore
Rena Fruchter was Dudley's concert piano partner, and the friend who looked after him in the final years of his life until his death at the age of 66. This is her intimate portrait of the extraordinarily brilliant, complex character that was Dudley Moore. During the last ten years of his life Dudley changed. He stepped off the podium and into real life. Physically life was difficult, professionally it was turbulent, but during his final years he blossomed, and in the midst of his illness from the debilitating effects of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, he found peace. Rena writes beautifully of Dudley's final years but also takes us back through his life story - conveying his inimitable talent, humour and vibrancy; evoking the atmosphere of a working-class upbringing in 1940s Britain, life in 1950s London and his relationship with Peter Cook, and the excesses of 1980s LA. With style and precision she unravels his personality, looks back at his childhood and career, weaving a moving and compelling story of a unique man.

An intimate and revealing portrait of the TV star who played J.R. on Dallas—as seen through the eyes of his daughter. When you have a very famous father, like mine, everyone thinks they know him. My dad, Larry Hagman, portrayed the ruthless oilman J.R. on the TV series Dallas. He was the man everyone loved to hate, but he had a personal reputation for being a nice guy who lived by his motto: DON’T WORRY! BE HAPPY! FEEL GOOD! Dad had a famous parent, too—Mary Martin, best known for playing Peter Pan on Broadway. Both were beloved performers, masters of crafting their public personas. But their relationship was complex and often fraught. In the hours before he died, I heard my dad beg for forgiveness, though he could not tell me what troubled him. After he died, I was compelled to learn why he felt the need to be forgiven. As I pursued the mystery of my happy-go-lucky, pot-smoking, LSD-taking dad, I came to know him—and my grandmother—better than I had known them in life.
