"Tell the truth," her friend the director Lindsay Anderson urged
Eleanor Fazan. "It's seldom heard." Nor is it easy to tell. But
that's what "Fiz" has done: delivering frank and intimate accounts
of her not-always-peaceful collaborations with the brilliant
figures she has worked with over the decades - on stage in London's
West End, on screen, and in opera. It's an amazing line-up: among
performers, from Jack Hulbert, Cicely Courtneidge and George Formby
to Barry Humphries, Alec Guinness, Laurence Olivier; among
directors, Tony Richardson, John Schlesinger, and Stephen Frears;
among writers, John Osborne and the legendary Beyond the Fringe
team - Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, and Dudley Moore.
Along the way we get musicians too: her husband Stanley Myers,
composer of "Cavatina," the haunting theme from The Deerhunter, and
the god-like maestro Herbert von Karajan. Fiz's memoir offers a
modest, frank, and often startlingly perceptive account of the
delights and difficulties of working with some of the most
brilliant - and utterly impossible - writers, directors, and
performers of the last sixty years. Her true stories of
professional relationships are funny, affectionate, sometimes
searing; always enlightening about the agonies and ecstasies of
what goes on behind the scenes.
