Alexander, Jean. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JEAN ALEXANDER.
Lennard, Oxford, 1989, first edition.
183 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 185291064X B&w photographs. "Born into a caring, hard-working family in a working-class district of Liverpool, Jean Alexander eventually became one of the four most popular women in En gland - the other three being Royal! She has been a mascot for a Welsh rugby team and a pin-up of the Falklands taskforce, and among her fans have been Lord Olivier, Sir John Betjeman, Michael Parkinson and the late Russell Harty. In 1895 she rece ived a "Performance of the Year' award from the Royal Television Society, and in 1987 made headline news when she left the cast of 'Coronation Street', the twice-weekly drama series that she had enlivened for twenty three years with her much-loved p ortrayal of 'Hilda Ogden'. In this entertaining autobiography Jean Alexander tells of her early life, her struggles as an actress, her years in 'The Street' and the opportunities that have opened up for her since she left. She has a vivid memory of Liverpool in the 1930's, and her portraits of the members of her family, especially her grandfather, as eccentric as any fictional character in a soap opera, are acutely drawn....Her account of her years in 'Coronation Street' is crammed with ent ertaining anecdotes, and includes a candid assessment of the character she played. She shows herself to be humorous, practical and clear-sighted." Light bump at top of spine, very small bump on fore-edge of front board, three tiny corner bumps . Dust jacket has been price-clipped, has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, very small dint on front flap-fold. Very Good/Very Good
