«There is no one on earth quite so wonderful» STEPHEN FRY

«As outrageously entertaining as you’d expect» Daily Express

BAFTA-winning actress and voice of many beloved television and film characters, MIRIAM MARGOLYES, OBE, is the country's most beloved (and naughtiest) treasure. At the age of 80, she has finally decided to share the remarkable story of her life - and it is worth the wait.

Discover how her conception during an air raid gave her curly hair, which pranks made her known as the naughtiest girl ever to pass through Oxford High School, how she ended up posing nude for Augustus John as a teenager, and why Bob Monkhouse was the best (male) kiss she ever received.

From accepting her love for Vanessa Redgrave to being asked to be quiet by the Queen, this book is filled with brilliant, humorous stories. With a cast of characters ranging from Scorsese to Streisand, a cross-dressing Leonardo DiCaprio, and Isaiah Berlin, This Much Is True is as warm and honest, full of life and surprises, as its unique author.
