Dirk Bogarde Livres
28 mars 1921 – 8 mai 1999
Dirk Bogarde fut un acteur britannique célébré, réputé pour ses performances captivantes au milieu du XXe siècle. Passant de la scène à l'écran, il s'est forgé une réputation de polyvalence, interprétant avec brio un large éventail de personnages. Ses rôles exploraient souvent la complexité psychologique, allant d'antihéros captivants à des figures d'autorité nuancées. Au-delà de sa carrière d'acteur, Bogarde a par la suite connu un succès littéraire grâce à ses écrits autobiographiques perspicaces et ses essais critiques.
The sequel to Dirk Bogarde's bestselling memoir, Postillion Struck by Lightning In Snakes and Ladders, Dirk Bogarde continues his memoirs, from the trials of an army training camp at Catterick to the greatest challenge of his film career - the role of von Aschenbach in Death in Venice. Challenges were a constant feature in his life, some brought by chance, some self-imposed. It was an accident which altered his army career, a mistake which launched him into films. This second volume charts the ups and downs Bogarde experienced on the way to becoming one of the finest cinema actors of our time. It is also about the people who helped him in this game of 'snakes and ladders' - family and friends, actors and actresses, directors and producers, including Judy Garland.
This is the fifth volume of Dirk Bogarde's autobiography, which takes him from France to London.

This is the sixth and final volume of Dirk Bogarde's autobiography. It is a recollection of a life, a gallery of family and friends in war-ravaged Europe, in India and Java, and in the London of the 1950s. He also shares his memories of Italy and Provence, and concludes in the London of today.
As work on Visconti's Death in Venice draws to a close, Dirk Bogarde is preparing his house in Provence as a retreat. This third volume of his autobiography also covers the years in which he gave some of his finest, most sensitive acting performances and began his career as a writer, imposing order on a rich and varied life.
