This is the inside story of one of Britain’s best-loved, best-known actors, revealing in his own words, for the first time, exactly what makes him tick. Robert Lindsay describes not only the lasting influences of his childhood, schooling and family, but also how his acting started and then took off with “Citizen Smith”. He reflects on the highs of a runaway West End and Broadway success, the lows of a brief flirtation with Hollywood and what keeps his feet on the ground. Beyond the stories of Robert Lindsay the star—and intriguing showbiz encounters, for example with Katherine Hepburn, Michael Jackson and others—Letting Go sheds honest light on Robert Lindsay the man, on his relationships and his family, and provides insights into his approach to being an actor. Letting Go is illustrated with photographs, many previously unseen, from Robert’s life and career.The book includes a free audiobook CD of Robert Lindsay reading his book.
