Synopsis

In this second installment of Terence Stamp’s captivating memoirs, he takes us right into the heart of the swinging ’60s. From his Academy Award nomination for Billy Budd to his coming of age under the direction of the legendary Federico Fellini, the “marmalade skies” are the limit. With beautiful women and beautiful people from London to California, Stamp captures the spirit of the decade. He was the face, the man to be seen with. And then the decade ended, along with his romance to famous model Jean Shrimpton. While the Beatles play their last concert on the rooftop of the Apple building in Mayfair, Stamp, unemployed and brokenhearted, boards a plane for a solo pilgrimage to India.

Goodreads review by James on April 19, 2019

In seeking out reading material, I am not overly selective sometimes. As I have, on occasion, been noted by others to have picked up a cereal box to read when nothing else presents itself, so it is not uncommon that I purchase a book without the full knowledge of what treasures or mire may be hidden......more

Goodreads review by Judith on December 27, 2021

The third installment of Terence Stamp's memoirs. He really is a very talented writer as well as one of my favorite actors. A little too much focus on marijuana in the late chapters, but reading about his becoming a lead actor and his great love for Jean Shrimpton made it well worth reading.......more

Goodreads review by David on August 06, 2022

An interesting third book in Stamp’s early life, up until 1969, a split between the happiness of his relationship with top model Jean Shrimpton and his rootlessness, despair and foray into drugs after she leaves him.......more
