I read a lot of biographies of actors and actresses, particularly those of a comical bent and after a while, one feels that one can guess the person's character. This is one that I got completely wrong.
Miss Sims appears so confident in front of the camera and yet, like Hancock, this is the story of a tortured soul.
The other surprising thing to come from this book is that a lady who so regularly appeared upon the screen - both big and small - should end her days in such an impicunious state.
The style of the book is always cheerful, but there is an unquestionable backdrop of sorrow and, although she glosses over the event, we are made aware of Joan's descent into depression.
Her autobiography ends frighteningly near to her own demise but, typically, the book ends on a positive note so, one hopes, her end was on a high note.… (altro)
