The Memoirs of Fenella Fielding

Some very exciting news! The legendary actress Fenella Fielding has been working on an audio book of memoirs from her extraordinary life and career. Fenella is joining forces with The Misty Moon Film Society for a very special event.

For the first time, Fenella will be reading extracts from her forthcoming audio book of memoirs. The text for the reading isn't quite finalised, but drawn from early in her career; is likely to include stories of innocence, innocence lost, tarts, gangsters and how Fenella almost gave up... twice. Fenella Fielding’s film appearances began in 1959 with Sapphire. Subsequent titles include Foxhole In Cairo (1960), Old Dark House (1963) and then a run of very successful comedy roles: various ‘Doctor’ films – most notably as Tatiana Rubikov in Doctor in Clover (1966) – Carry On Regardless (1961) and of course her iconic Valeria Watt in Carry On Screaming (1966). This was followed by a role in the big MGM production, Drop Dead Darling (1966), starring Tony Curtis. The performance will include a Q&A with Misty Moon's special guest MC Simon McKay who is also a personal friend of Fenella.   The event will take place on Saturday 30 July between 2.30 and 4.30pm at the Phoenix Artist Club in London.  You can buy tickets for the event here You can follow me on Twitter @CarryOnJoan and also on Facebook
