Over the last fifty years, Ian Holm has
become one of the most respected and widely admired actors of his
generation. He has worked on stage, screen, television and radio.
He has appeared in cult and popular classics such as Alien, Chariots
of Fire, The Fifth Element and Lord of the Rings. On stage, his King
Lear was reckoned to be one of the best this century, while others
remember him for his portrayal of J M Barrie in The Lost Boys for
the BBC. The winner of many awards, Ian Holm was appointed a CBE in
1990 and knighted in 1997.
Acting My Life is Ian Holm's candid look
back at his life. It is a compelling mix of anecdote and observation,
and he writes with insight about his childhood growing up next to
the mental asylum, the women in his life, his on-stage breakdown,
and his battle with cancer.
Ian Holm's story is both honest and touching.
His one lifelong commitment has been to his acting, and that same
intensity is now brought to his writing.
