This book presents the inside story of one of Britain's best loved,
best known actors, which reveals in his own words, for the first
time, exactly what makes him tick. Robert Lindsay describes not
only the lasting influences of his childhood, schooling and family,
but also how his acting started and then took off with Citizen
Smith. He reflects on the highs of a runaway West End and Broadway
success, the lows of a brief flirtation with Hollywood and what
keeps his feet on the ground. Beyond the stories of Robert Lindsay
the star - and intriguing showbiz encounters, for example with
Katharine Hepburn, Michael Jackson and others - "Letting Go" sheds
honest light on Robert Lindsay the man, on his relationships and
his family, and provides insights into his approach to being an
actor. "Letting Go" is illustrated with photographs, many
previously unseen, from Robert's life and career. Robert Lindsay
first found fame as sitcom star Wolfie Smith, and went on to win
Tony, Olivier and Fred Astaire awards in the theatre for Me and My
Girl, before finding further success on TV, earning a Best Actor
BAFTA for GBH. More recently Robert has appeared on stage in "The
Entertainer" and Aristo and on television in the popular BBC sitcom
"My Family", but this book could be said to be dedicated to 'my
family - the real one'.
It seems particularly appropriate that this pioneering collection
of papers should be dedicated to Donald Sholl since those of us who
count, measure, and reconstruct elements of the neural en emble are
all very much in his debt. Sholl was certainly not the first to
attempt quantification of certain aspects of brain structure. No
computers were available to him for the kind of answers he sought,
and some of his answers - or rather his interpretations - may not
stand the test of time. But we remember him because of the
questions he asked and for the reasons he asked them. At a time
when the entire family of Golgi techniques was in almost total
eclipse, he had the judgment to rely on them. And in a period when
the canonical neuron was a perfect sphere (the enormous dendritic
superstructure being almost forgotten), he was one of a very few
who looked to dendrite extension and pattern as a prime clue to the
overall problem of neuronal connectivity.
