Public Places : The Autobiography Paperback – January 1, 2002

by Sian Phillips (Author)
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
See all formats and editions
Sian Phillips brings the remarkable honesty, personal insight and memorable writing that characterised "Private Faces" to this second volume of autobiography. "Public Places" tells the story of her second marriage to actor Peter O'Toole. They were one of the country's most glamorous couples but as O'Toole's career took off with "Lawrence Of Arabia" so Sian began to find her own increasingly sidelined. A famous hellraiser Sian describes the mad and wonderfully impulsive times alongside the tempestuous, insecure and often lonely periods in their marriage. Funny, moving and without bitterness it is a riveting account of life with one of the world's most famous actors as well as her subsequent and much publicised third marriage to younger actor Robin Sachs.

    J'admire Sian Phillips cette femme intelligente qui a réussi à survivre aux frasques de Peter O'Toole et à voir qu'il n'était pas qu'un alcoolique mais aussi un homme curieux de tout qui l'a amenée à voir des pays lointains, à rencontrer des gens hors du commun.Elle a eu un belle carrière grâce à son courage phénomenal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating book about a fascinationg person.

    Siân Phillips continues her story from Private Faces and it was hard to put this down. It is difficult to understand that this free spirit from the first book becomes totally dominated by Peter O'Toole and almost looses herself. Sometimes you just feel like kicking her for not standing up for herself. The book is well written and I feel I can see the pictures she describes.
    I find the style of writing in this book a quite different from the first book. It is clearly "the adult" writing as opposed to "the child", but both equally fascinating.
    I can only recommend both books.

    Excellent autobiography, very well written. Quite a journey to read and take in..it must have been very tempestuous. Sian is self effacing, but brilliant to have come through so well, seemingly without malice. Well worth reading.
