She was co-star to Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, John Gielgud, Paul Scofield, Ralph Richardson, George C. Scott, and James Mason. At the age of twenty-one, she achieved a double triumph as Juliet on stage and in Charlie Chaplin's LIMELIGHT on film. "This book tells the story of the girhood singlemindedness that led to her early triumph, and then explores, with disarming clarity, her life as an actress in London, Hollywood, Stratford-upon-Avon, and New York. In all, it is a witty, straightforward, intelligent portrait of a woman and her vocation - and of how that vocation has affected her as daughter, sister, wife, and mother.
