Description

From a health perspective, it’s a sobering look at ageing and a gradual slip into ill health and the attendant reflections on morbidity that brings with it. A man who almost couldn't come to terms with the fact he was gay and every sexual encounter failed (he remained a virgin throughout his life) and unless he liked you, you were scathed in his book, at times it felt tedious to read all these negative comments. In response to the queries surrounding the execution of Williams and the three others before him, Hutchinson stated that he "absolutely made the right decision" to ensure the law run its course and fulfill the ends of justice. All of Williams moods are revealed in the book, his anger, his sadness and his disapointments as well as his happier times.

I'd like to be able to give this biography more than 3 stars, because it is well-intentioned and (as far as it goes) thorough. An actor desperate to be taken seriously, struggling with the idea of his own sexuality and desperately tied to his mother’s apron strings, one thing Kenneth Williams’ life is, is never boring.Lala Kent, 33, reveals she wants a 2nd child via IUI as it's silly 'to wait to fall in love with a man' to have a baby. But the surprise is that the Kenneth Williams of these diaries emerges as erudite, self-critical, tortured and a brilliantly sharp critic. The diaries record his opinions about others and many wondered what he had written about them in his "infamous" diaries. His diaries give a truthful and compelling picture of a life and career in "the business", the Carry Ons, theatre (one serious triumph as The Dauphin), television, radio, actor, director, voice-over: he did the lot.

If you are only interested in his comedy film career, there are plenty of very good books about this subject, however Christopher Stevens' book is the one to get if you have a desire to explore every aspect of Kenneth's career.Rarely supervised, Williams started smoking marijuana at the age of 6, and joined the Gangster Disciples and started drinking beer at the age of 9. Williams then dragged his body inside, stole his wallet, some of his jewelry, several more of his guns, and other valuables. The format lays bare the contradictions and hypocrisies that are embedded in every life, but it also gives an invaluable insight into the private life behind the public persona.
