This work traces the life of the diminutive musician, actor, commedian and sex symbol, Dudley Moore. It charts his early years as a working-class boy from Dagenham, his health problems, and his scholarship to Oxford, providing insights into his private life and inner angst and restlessness. Much to the dismay of tall men the world over, Dudley Moore has risen to become an international film star, media magnet and Hollywood heart-throb without losing a trace of the lovable English charm that propelled him to stardom in the 1960s.
