Description
by David Tomlinson (Author)
'I'd like to be an actor, ' I said.
'Be an actor?' my father said. 'Good God, you can't even speak.'
Step into the extraordinary life of David Tomlinson, the beloved British actor best known as Mr. Banks in Disney's timeless classic Mary Poppins. Tomlinson takes you on a captivating journey from his early days as a Royal Air Force pilot during World War II, where he survived a crash and served as a flying instructor, to a film career spanning over 50 iconic movies, including The Love Bug and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Beyond the screen, discover his adventures on stage in hit plays like The Little Hut and his enduring marriage with Audrey Freeman, loving family life and four sons. This autobiography brimming with humour, wit, and personal reflections, features a heartfelt family tribute by his son James and conversational afterword by acclaimed actor Miles Jupp and Bafta winning writer James Kettle, who brought David's life to the stage in the production of 'The Life I Lead'. A charming and candid tale of stardom, family, and adventure, Luckier than Most is the story of a man whose warmth and talent continue to enchant generations.
This new edition includes an introduction by British author, journalist, and satirist, Craig Brown.
