Born in Oxford, England in 1941 & educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, MIRIAM MARGOLYES OBE is an award-winning veteran of the stage and screen, and an internationally acclaimed voice-artist and documentarian. Winner of the BAFTA Best Supporting Actress award for The Age of Innocence, she received an OBE in 2002 for Services to Drama. This Much is True, her long-awaited award-winning autobiography, was in the top ten for over a year. This is her second book.
Oh Miriam! risks the curse of the sequel, and pulls it off . . . A
force of nature, a tour de farce. Bold, brave and bright, but also
revealing, shocking and touching. Miriam is an icon, a cocksucker -
and the star of her show
*ROBERT McCRUM, Independent*
Our naughtiest national treasure . . . famously filthy, funny and
phlegmatic . . . Oh Miriam! is Margolyes's manifesto for a
fulfilled life . . . She loves to tell it straight. And the older
she gets, the straighter she tells it
*SIMON HATTENSTONE, Guardian*
Irrepressible . . . A life-enhancing rollercoaster of a ride . . .
this book is like Margolyes herself - outspoken, ebullient and
unexpectedly wise
*EMMA LEE-POTTER, Daily Express*
Snortingly funny . . . deliciously unbridled . . . There is
something heroic in her unruliness. Let Miriam take the lead and
enjoy the show
*RHIK SAMADDER, Observer*
Insanely interesting, full of profanity and profundity, Oh
Miriam!'s title comes from all the people who have ever exclaimed
her name in every tone from horror to hilarity; and her unfiltered
personality leaps off the page - honesty, kindness, generosity,
sanity, erudition, outspokenness
*SUZANNE HARRINGTON, Irish Examiner*
Miriam Margolyes is a force to be reckoned with . . . I challenge
anyone not to be entertained by this follow-up to This Much is
True
*Good Housekeeping*
Endearingly eccentric
*Women's Weekly*
