From Byfleet to the Bush Audiobook

The actress Jacqueline Pearce is best known to television audiences as the villainous Servalan from the fondly remembered Blake’s 7. Her career has taken her from RADA to Hollywood via starring roles in international comedy films, hammer horror, BBC Shakespeare, and London’s West End. So how did she end up living in the African bush with her belongings in black trash bags? Find out with this gripping memoir of an extraordinary life—from Byfleet to the Bush. Jacqueline’s motherless upbringing in suburban Byfleet was unconventional and her education at the hands of nuns left her emotionally scarred. Through the course of her erratic career, she found love, laughter, heartache, breakdowns, fame, obscurity, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. On the way, she encountered such stars as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sammy Davis Jr., Jerry Lewis, Alan Bates, John Hurt, Dervla Kirwan, and Rupert Penry-Jones.

Candid, vivid, mordant, and funny, From Byfleet to the Bush is an unusual and enchanting memoir.
