Catherine Tate

Meer over het boek

From the argumentative teenager Lauren Cooper to the foul-mouthed Nan Taylor and the effete Derek Faye, Catherine Tate’s myriad roles on The Catherine Tate Show have made her a landmark in contemporary comedy. Her success is no flash in the pan, however, but instead a product of nearly two decades spent in show business. This insightful biography follows Catherine from her early struggles with obsessive compulsive behavior through her initial television appearances. Her breakthrough starring alongside Dawn French in the comedy series Wild West is also covered, as is her recent success as the fiercely independent Donna Noble on Doctor Who , her little-known performances in the theater, and her private life with her husband and daughter. Drawing on interviews with many of those who have worked most closely with Catherine over the years, this is the complete portrait of this hilarious and hugely talented actress.
