About this listen
Whether sweeping the floor for the Royal Shakespeare Company or co-starring with Faye Dunaway and an orang-utan in Dunstan Checks In (they both took ages to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy and talent to his life as he does to his career. His memoir swoops from the eccentricities of the British upper classes to the madness of Hollywood, from the Russian steppes to an Easter egg hunt in Elizabeth Taylor's garden.

Critic reviews
"Hilariously honest...a kind of rake's progress. The accounts of filming with stars such as Madonna, Sharon Stone, and Julia Roberts are as good as Evelyn Waugh. The earlier scenes from childhood to unruly adolescence, to drama school and a belle époque beyond, are like Brideshead in Doc Martens, shocking and hilarious...His autobiography is funny, outrageous, and extremely well written." (Daily Mail)
If you could sum up Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins in three words, what would they be?
To hear a great story read by an actor/writer who is wry, self-deprecating, snobbishly outspoken, superbly straightforward, is a total delight. I listened to Rupert Everett's book twice over - and shall do so again! Hugely recommended, HUGELY!Romesh Chopra
What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins?
Too many to mention - some moments are evocative, some stingingly sharp, some tear-jerkingly from the heart. What a writer he is and what a life he has lived - so far!If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
It's so out-of-the-closet that you'll feel suffocated if you're still in there!Any additional comments?
