Little Did You Know: The Confessions of David McGillivray

Beschreibung

Described by Jonathan Ross as "a comedy legend", Alan Jones as "a horror icon" and Matthew Sweet as "the Truffaut of smut", David McGillivray has enjoyed a long and colourful career in many areas of lowbrow entertainment. But not even his closest associates, let alone fans of his horror films and comedy plays, could have predicted the extraordinary turn his career took during the final years of the 20th century. McG hosted London's wildest parties at his home in the sleazy King's Cross district. They were attended by some of the biggest names of stage, screen, music and fashion. The revelations of what went on under the figurative noses of law enforcement agencies and the literal noses of McG and his high-flying guests are not for the faint-hearted. In this sensational memoir, illustrated with many previously unseen photos, McGillivray journeys six decades, taking us through the cocaine-lined world of London's media industry, the tragic heights of the AIDS epidemic and the sinful celluloid backstreets of Soho. It's a colourful picaresque account of the capital from every angle. The confessions of this outrageously funny man may amaze and amuse, scandalise or shock you. And you may never look back on Millennium Night in quite the same light again... Little Did You Know is disgraceful, indefensible... and utterly unforgettable.

Autor

David McGillivray knew from the age of four that he wanted to get into the movies. He was briefly the UK's youngest film critic, then wrote his first film when he was 23, before moving on to a series of cheap shockers and skin flicks. Later, McG found employment in radio, TV and theatre, becoming Julian Clary's long-serving scriptwriter. Around the year 2000 he put these careers temporarily on hold to dabble in another form of exploitation, but one closely associated with the more secretive side of show business; all is revealed in his book's scandalous pages.
