An edition of A Positively Final Appearance (1999)

A positively final appearance

a journal 1996-98

by

These journal entries are comprised of Sir Alec Guinness’s observations on Britain during the tumultuous times of Princess Diana’s death and the election of Tony Blair, and comments on his quintessentially English country life with his wife. Written from the summer of 1996 through 1998, A Positively Final Appearance is a follow-up to the best-selling My Name Escapes Me. Guinness offers frank (and surprising) reflections on the effects of appearing in the Star Wars films, and both hilarious and poignant memories of such well-known performers as Humphrey Bogart and Noel Coward. This delightful, humorous journal is a wonderful legacy from a beloved actor.

Book Details

First Sentence

"The view from the small, spotless white room on the twelfth floor of the hospital was almost Wordworthian: the Houses of Parliament glowing in summer afternoon sunlight, the mud-coloured Thames slowly eddying as the tide turned and a string of barges chugging towards Westminster Bridge."
