In his diverse career as a journalist and wordsmith; Herbert Kretzmer has interviewed and profiled some of the twentieth centurys greatest figures in theatre; literature; show business and sport. His meetings with these legends are touching; funny and devastatingly honest; providing brief but lasting snapshots of their lives. Brought together for the first time; these portraits offer unique insights into some of the extraordinary talents and personalities who have shaped our culture. Kretzmers intimate interviews allow us to meet such charismatic individuals as Truman Capote; Petula Clark; Billy Wilder; Cassius Clay; Anita Loos; John Osborne; Joan Plowright; Nicol Williamson; Peter Shaffer; J. P. Donleavy and many others. They are people who achieved greatness by virtue of their innovations; personalities and flair; and in these glimpses into their lives they share their hopes and opinions; anecdotes and memories.
