Out of character : a memoir : from Abigail's party to Gavin & Stacey, and everything in between
Steadman, Alison, 1946-2025
Book
Growing up in Liverpool as the entertainer of the family, impersonating neighbours to the delight of her friends and playing pranks on her unwitting mother, the young Alison Steadman could never have imagined what the future had in store. But when she secretly sneaked off to London to audition for drama school, Alison set in motion a series of events that would see her become one of the greatest character-actors of the age, and a national treasure to boot. From Beverley's overbearing party throwing and Mrs Bennet's ailing 'nerves' to Pamelaaaa's instantly-regretted vegetarian declaration, Alison's colourful characters have found her fans across generations and continents. She has won award after award, with acclaimed film roles in 'Life is Sweet' and 'The Rise and Fall of Little Voice' alongside too many starring television roles to mention. This is her story.
