The Secret Woman: A Life of Peggy Ashcroft by Garry O'Connor
Garry O'Connor's is the first full biography. In her lifetime she discouraged anyone who pried into her life. The private person remained undisclosed. Conceived following her death in 1991, O'Connor's biography redresses the balances. She was married three times and each marriage ended in divorce. O'Connor says she never reconciled herself to the differences between role-playing and private life. There's a frankness in the book that will astonish many readers.
