She had weathered and even thrived in widowhood, taking on acting roles that would have been demanding for a woman half her age. She had energy, friends, a devoted family, a lovely home. She could still remember her lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo why, at 89, having sailed past supposedly disturbing milestones - 50, 70 even 80 - without a qualm, did she suddenly feel so furious? Shocking diagnoses, Brexit and bereavement seemed to knock her from every quarter. And that was before lockdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHome alone, classified as 'extremely vulnerable', she finds herself yelling at the TV and talking to the pigeons. But she can at least take a good long look at life - her work and family, her beliefs (many of them the legacy of her wartime childhood) and, uncomfortable as it might be to face, her future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Old Rage, one of Britain's best loved actors opens up about her ninth decade. Funny, feisty, honest, she makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life as a daughter, a sister, a mother, a widow, an actor, a friend and looks at a world so different from the wartime world of her childhood. And yet - despite age, despite rage - she finds there are always reasons for joy.\n\u003cbr\u003e_______________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'The much-loved actor candidly shares the fear, joy and frustration she has found in her ninth decade' - Guardian, Books of the Year 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Sheila Hancock reflects upon her life and career with all the winning candour and warm-heartedness we have come to expect from the legendary actress' - Waterstones\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheila Hancock","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43746970632435,"sku":"9781526647450","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781526647450.jpg?v=1682378211","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/old-rage-sheila-hancock-9781526647450","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
