PETER WYNGARDE: A LIFE AMONGST STRANGERS

For the first time ever, the life story of a television and style icon

Peter Wyngarde: the name elicits memories of an actor with worldwide renown and instantly adhesive star quality. During a more leisurely time, so far from internet gossip as to be barely recognisable, this is a biography that glued two people together for several decades to create a journal of the rise and relaxation of a household name and the adoration he enjoyed.

The author has not placed their subject on a pedestal to unwittingly create an epic story of fame, fortune, the price of both and the cost of each other. With a wealth of stories to fascinate and appal in equal measure, and given it’s subject’s continuing fascination for a more worldly generation who would barely have heard of the power of the Lord Chamberlain, there is plenty to consume a worldwide readership for the story of someone whose fame hid fragility but whose status was the stuff of legend. 

"Elegantly crafted, intensively researched and presented with the utmost honour, it is highly commended."

"A wonderful, fascinating book." 

Steven Berkoff - Actor, Writer and Director
