**THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER**_______________I want to be Sheila Hancock when I grow up Lorraine KellyWise, witty, kind and true - Sunday TimesA sparkling memoir as funny and insightful as its moving - Daily MailA captivating memoir - Mail on Sunday_______________A gloriously irreverent memoir from the frontline of old age - by the Sunday Times-bestselling author and legendary actorSheila Hancock looked like she was managing old age. She had weathered and even thrived in widowhood, taking on acting roles that would have been demanding for a woman half her age. She had energy, friends, a devoted family, a lovely home. She could still remember her lines.So why, at 89, having sailed past supposedly disturbing milestones - 50, 70 even 80 - without a qualm, did she suddenly feel so furious? Shocking diagnoses, Brexit and bereavement seemed to knock her from every quarter. And that was before lockdown.Home alone, classified as `extremely vulnerable, she finds herself yelling at the TV and talking to the pigeons. But she can at least take a good long look at life - her work and family, her beliefs (many of them the legacy of her wartime childhood) and, uncomfortable as it might be to face, her future.In Old Rage, one of Britains best loved actors opens up about her ninth decade. Funny, feisty, honest, she makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life as a daughter, a sister, a mother, a widow, an actor, a friend and looks at a world so different from the wartime world of her childhood. And yet - despite age, despite rage - she finds there are always reasons for joy._______________The much-loved actor candidly shares the fear, joy and frustration she has found in her ninth decade - Guardian, Books of the Year 2022Sheila Hancock reflects upon her life and career with all the winning candour and warm-heartedness we have come to expect from the legendary actress - Waterstones
