Michael Winner, the legendary film director, writer and food
critic, is a colourful figure who has led a remarkable life. He has
a reputation for being outspoken, and, true to form, in his
autobiography he tells it like it is with sharp and insightful
observations. 'Winner Takes All' begins with his unconventional
childhood as a Jewish boy attending a Quaker boarding school and
introduces his eccentric mother, who was a compulsive gambler.
Michael Winner gained his first taste of fame, when aged fourteen,
he met the stars for a showbusiness column in twenty London local
papers. At Cambridge he edited the student newspaper and became a
local celebrity. The author is a natural raconteur and his
anecdotes from the film industry are compelling. He recounts his
early life with relish and provides fascinating accounts of his
experiences directing some of the world's most famous actors and
actresses, including Charles Bronson, Sophia Loren, Joan Collins,
Orson Welles, Marlon Brando and Anthony Hopkins. Many of them
became close friends. As a food critic, Michael Winner is famous
for shooting from the hip. Love him or loathe him, he is constantly
in the public eye. His esure TV commercials - which produced a
national catchphrase 'Calm down dear!' - have been an advertising
industry phenomenon. What may come as a surprise to the reader is
the gentle side that he reveals in his autobiography. He speaks
with candour about his private life; he admits his fear of
relationships with women and confides the heartbreaking story of
the love of his life, a famous female star.
