Life the Lipman way is always unexpected, and the hilarious and
witty way in which she recalls her adventures and misadventures has
made her a bestselling author and national treasure. Her
self-deprecatingly titled Past-it Notes is the ultimate Maureen
Lipman Collection, drawing on choice material from her six previous
books (re-visited and re-worked) and lacing this with a heady dose
of extremely funny new autobiographical material. Past-it Notes is
packed with beguiling showbiz anecdotes, wonderful stories,
eccentric characters, bizarre situations and memorable encounters -
all recalled and recorded with gusto and relish. To compliment all
this, Maureen has also included affectionate recollections of her
late husband, the playwright Jack Rosenthal, and of her mother and
Muse, the inimitable Zelma, source of so much rich comic material.
From entertaining the neighbours at the age of four with
impressions of Alma Cogan to entertaining the nation on TV, from
struggling with her laptop to film-roles and award-winning stage
triumphs such as re-Joyce and Oklahoma (and even the Vagina
Monologues!) - and not forgetting her iconic creation Beattie, star
of thirty five British Telecom commercials - Maureen combines
stories of her whirlwind professional life, and confessions of the
chaos that often threatens to engulf her personal life, with a
style and wit that is utterly and uniquely her own. Born in Hull,
actress Maureen Lipman has written six best-selling books, the most
recent being Lip Reading. She has won numerous awards for her
television and theatrical work including the Laurence Olivier and
Variety Club of Great Britain Awards.
