When he arrived at RADA on a scholarship he felt an outsider. In fact his timing was perfect- it was the sixties and television was beginning to make its mark. With his roles in \u003ci\u003eZ-Cars \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Sweeney\u003c\/i\u003e, fame came quickly. But it was John's role as Morse that made him an icon. In 1974 he married Sheila Hancock, with whom he shared a working-class background and a RADA education. Sheila was already the star of the TV series \u003ci\u003eThe Rag Trade \u003c\/i\u003eand went on to become the first woman artistic director at the RSC. Theirs was a sometimes turbulent, always passionate relationship, and in this remarkable book Sheila describes their love - weathering overwork and the pressures of celebrity, drink and cancer - with honesty and piercing intelligence, and evokes two lives lived to the utmost.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616111349918,"sku":"UBD-9780747577096","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780747577096.jpg?v=1773809370","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780747577096","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
