“Writing with grace, wit, and remarkable candor, actress Claire Bloom looks back at her crowded life: her accomplishments on stage and screen; her romantic liaisons with some of the great leading men of our era; and at “the most important relationship” of her life–her marriage to author Philip Roth.”
The elegant Patek Philippe Calatrava, a gentlemen’s dress watch, is the appropriate choice when reading Ms. Bloom’s second memoir. She invariably played very proper ladies — save when George Cukor inexplicably cast her as an unladylike nymphomaniac in The Chapman Report, 1962.
