Absolutely: A Memoir
Joanna LumleyShe discusses speaking out as a human rights activist for Survival International and the recent Gurkha Justice Campaign for which she is now considered a "national treasure" of Nepal because of her support. She has won two BAFTA awards, but it is the sheer diversity of her life that makes her story so compelling; early years in Kashmir and Malaya, growing up in Kent, then a photographic model before becoming an actress, appearing in a huge range of roles, whether it is the Nimble bread TV ad, movies like On Her Majesty's Secret Service, dramas like Sensitive Skin and documentaries on the Northern Lights, Bhutan and the Nile, and of course as the unforgettable Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous or as Purdy in The New Avengers, where her plummy vowels and upper-class demeanour has made her one of our most recognisable actors.
Illustrated memoir by the absolutely fabulous Joanna Lumley.
