Typically drawn from secondary sources, collections of interviews often repeat tired anecdotes about an actor’s film or stage roles, with very little nuance or fresh insights.
Great Britons of Stage and Screen: In Conversation features interviews with some of the leading actors of the last fifty years and more.
