Peter O’Toole’s celebrated autobiography, covering his childhood and formative years, including his early life in Ireland and England, his scholarship to RADA, and the origins of one of the most distinctive acting careers of the twentieth century. Renowned for its wit, lyrical prose, and unvarnished candour, Loitering with Intent is widely regarded as among the finest actor memoirs ever written.
