The dust jacket reads: "For more than seventy years, Leslie Phillips has been a working actor, appearing alongside Dame Anna Neagle in the 1930s and John Malkovich in the twenty-first century, as well as just about every star in between. However, it was in the late 1950s that the predatory charm and knowing leer of Leslie's screen persona became recognized throughout the world. Starring roles in Doctor In Love and Carry On Nurse, comedies that swept the globe, established his name, Leslie even managed to make the word Hello uniquely his own, a considerable achievement with a mere two syllables. HELLO tells the story of the ultimate professional who conquered comedy with his unique sense of timing, while also creating a string of moving and unforgettable characters on stage and film. With over a hundred movie parts and some two hundred theatrical roles under his belt, Leslie Phillips is one of the few actors in the world who can truly be described as 'Star of Stage and Screen.' Leslie's tale of the boy born in the smoggy depths of Tottenham who becomes one of the best-known faces in Britain is told with an easy charm. He affectionately recalls a host of friends and colleagues-from never-forgotten chaperones to theatrical knights. He delivers it with the style you might expect, wit and perceptiveness. He also offers thoughtful insights on the business of being a tireless actor while still remaining a father at the centre of a large, loving family, sometimes against severe personal odds. It is a moving story of private disasters and triumphs; professional ambitions and achievement."
