John Murray|Miriam Margolyes: Oh Miriam! Stories from an Extraordinary Life

From declaring my love to Vanessa Redgrave to being fed cockroaches by Steve Buscemi, from turnip-based comedy with Blackadder to being farted on by Arnold Schwarzenegger, from Graham Norton`s sofa to Alan Cumming`s camper van, my life has been (and continues to be) an uproarious adventure.

Oh Miriam! has been such a constant refrain in my life, said in all kinds of tones - laughs, surprised gasps and orgasmic sighs (I`m hoping for all of those from you as you read on!) - that it had to be the title of this book. And with a cast list that stretches from Churchill to DiCaprio, Dahl to Dietrich, Princess Margaret to Maggie Smith, I`ve so much more to tell you and so much more to say.

My chapters range from `How to Stay Married` to `Don`t Let the Bastards Get You Down`. Discover how to break the thickest conversational ice
