I just finished reading a large chunk of Ron Moody's new autobiography which arrived from London today. It's very wonderful, particularly his accounts of learning to be an actor in the 1959 London production of CANDIDE with Denis Quilley, Mary Costa, and Victor Spinetti - he was a 36 year-old clown and revue comedian with no concept of acting - and his huge success in 1960 in OLIVER! He and Georgia Brown hatedeachother and his telling of their feud and her bad behavior onstage is quite interesting. She and Lionel Bart, who never wanted him to be Fagin, appear to be the most rrsponsible for his not playing the role on Broadway. The wonderful Vivienne Martin, who played the Queen in JUBILEE in 1999, shows up a lotin the book since she washis girlfriend at the time. She's a wonderful lady. She and Denis Quilley were my favorites in the 1999 broafcast.
