Crying with Laughter: My Life Story

Bob Monkhouse recounts his life and 40 years of stardom in show business, during which time he has known both triumph and tragedy. His first son was born disabled with cerebral palsy; his first marriage fell apart painfully; and he was arrested in 1978 for conspiracy to defraud, which led to a two-year struggle with the law that took him to the dock of the Old Bailey. But with these low points came the high: his first successful TV series in 1953; starring in the first Carry On film; topping the ratings with hit TV series; and fondly-remembered love affairs, before he married his long-time secretary, Jackie. Monkhouse's career has brought him into touch with many major stars of the entertainment world, and his anecdotes in the book incorporate personalities such as Frank Sinatra, Joan Collins, Bob Hope, Peter Sellers, Dudley Moore, Tommy Cooper and the Princess Royal.
