Review

 

An element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he swept to fame with his outstanding performance in 'Another Country'. He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people, and witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and in downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of 17 he was friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then he has been up close and personal with some of the most famous women in the world: Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Donatella Versace. Whether sweeping the floor for the Royal Shakespeare Company or co-starring with Faye Dunaway and an orang-utan in 'Dunstan Checks In' (they both took ages to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy and talent to his life as he does to his career. A superb raconteur and a keen observer of human folly (especially his own), Rupert Everett turns his life into a captivating story of love, fame, glamour, gossip and drama.

Grabbed this hurriedly in an airport and was really surprised at what an intruiguing, poverty jet set lifestyle Mr Everett has led. Most surprising was his writing style which at times made me laugh out loud and at other times left me feeling quite touched. He has a wonderful, colourful prose and his words paints pictures in your mind! I'd seen him in Dance with a Stranger but after reading this felt compelled to search out Another County to watch as well. I thoroughly enjoyed his Capote-esque social commentary on many household names. Give it a try!
