内容简介
At the age of twenty-one, Claire Bloom
made her Old Vic debut as Shakespeare s
Juliet and was acclaimed by the critic Ken-
neth Tynan as "the best Juliet I ve ever
seen." A few weeks later came the London
premiere of Charlie Chaplin s Limelight,
and she was an international film star. It
was a double triumph, as stunning as any
actress has achieved in the postwar era, and
the beginning of a distinguished career as
co-star to Laurence Olivier, Richard Bur-
ton, John Gielgud, Paul Scofield, Ralph
Richardson, George C. Scott, and James
Mason.
Her story begins, in these memoirs, with
her childhood wanderings a round England
with her uprooted family, and her evacua-
tion to America with her mother and small
brother during the London Blitz. Then
there is the adventurous return to England
