Synopsis

A selection of the letters written by Dirk Bogarde to an American woman between 1967 and 1972. He never saw or spoke to her, yet at certain times during that period he was writing her a letter every day. The correspondences was triggered off when when she saw a photo in a magazine which showed him outside a Surrey country house - a house she herself had lived in during the 1930`s.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

They were strangers and opposites and never met, and yet they enjoyed a passionate and unusual friendship.

In 1967 Dirk Bogarde, then at the height of his fame, received a letter from America from a complete stranger who had once lived in his house. Intrigued, he wrote back to her and thus began a flood of correspondence that ended with her death in 1972.

Selected from Dirk Bogarde's letters, A Particular Friendship reveals the unexpected side of a great actor and film star: a man deeply committed to his home, witty, stringent, observant, sometimes depressed by the state of Britain or of his work but always razor-sharp with his pen. Sprinkled with reminiscences, gossip and cameo portraits of the famous, the letters are a tribute to the relationship between two exceptional people.
