Has anyone read his memoir?

I'm part way through it and he's way more honest and detailed than I could have imagined. This is not a PG memoir by any means. Some of the details seem unnecessary, but maybe that's just the way he is. If you're a Wonka fan, you will be disappointed that he pretty much glosses over that film. He tells about his demands if he's going to make the film and says he flew to Europe to film it and that's about it. I haven't finished the book, so maybe he talks more about it further in?
Also, it see111cms like the assault he endured at the military school when he was young, set him up for a life long search for love through non-meaningful sexual relationships. he may have had a great acting career, but his private life seems kind of sad. -

Yes. He was a talented writer. I've enjoyed most of his books I haven't read all. Kiss Me Like A Stranger was my favorite. It was very personal. I liked reading about his career and the people he's met over the years. He's a very deep thinker and wise man.
