Bob Monkhouse has been a star in showbusiness for over 40 years. During those years he has known both triumph and tragedy. This is his story. His first son was born disabled with cerebral palsy; his first marriage fell appart painfully; he has suffered a life long estrange-ment with his brother; he was arrested in 1978 for conspiracy to de-fraud, leading to a two-year struggle with the law which took him to the dock of the Old Bailey. But with these low points came the high -the first smash TV series in 1953; starring in the first CARRY ON film; singing the lead in Rodgers and Hart's THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE at the Theatre Royal; topping the TV ratings with hit series after hit series; quite a few fondly remembered; love affairs, before happily marrying his long-term secretary, Jackie. Bob's career has brought him into touch with almost every major star entertainment and he has wounderful anecdotes about the famous - Frank Sinatra, Joan Collins, Bob Hope and many more.
