Rena Fruchter was Dudley's concert piano partner and the friend who looked after him in the final years of his life until his death at the age of 66. This is her intimate portrait of the extraordinarily brilliant complex character that was Dudley Moore. During the last ten years of his life Dudley changed. He stepped off the podium and into real life. Physically life was difficult professionally it was turbulent but during his final years he blossomed and in the midst of his illness from the debilitating effects of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy he found peace. Rena writes beautifully of Dudley's final years but also takes us back through his life story - conveying his inimitable talent humour and vibrancy; evoking the atmosphere of a working-class upbringing in 1940s Britain life in 1950s London and his relationship with Peter Cook and the excesses of 1980s LA. With style and precision she unravels his personality looks back at his childhood and career weaving a moving and compelling story of a unique man.
