Elizabeth Taylor's Kiss and Other Brushes with Hollywood by David Wood

 This was a highly entertaining account of some of David Wood's brushes with stardom, including filming with such stars as David Hemming, Roger Moore and Hayley Mills. I especially liked his amusing anecdotes about Shelley Winters, who took to lying on top of him for her role, making the buttons of his shirt come off much of the time! She also announced in a sing-song voice that 'David's made a mistaake' when he made an error with his lines. However, she sounds much more likeable than I thought.

I also liked his story about playing in Back Home with Hayley Mills. This sounds like such a good book and film for young people. Unfortunately, the DVD is very expensive but I hope to read the book. I'd like to read more books by David Wood.

I received this free book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
