A Star Danced

By Gertrude Lawrence

Published by Invincible Press: Sydney 1945 1st Edition

" Gertrude Lawrence's A Star Danced (Invincible Press: Sydney, 1945, First Edition) is the celebrated autobiography of one of Britain's most dazzling stage and screen actresses. Written with warmth and candour, Lawrence recounts her journey from a South London childhood to international fame, chronicling her triumphs on the West End and Broadway alongside co-stars such as Noël Coward. The book vividly evokes the glamour and hardship of theatrical life, filled with anecdotes from her acclaimed performances in Private Lives, The King and I, and other landmark productions that defined her remarkable career.

Beyond the stage lights, Lawrence offers an intimate portrait of her personal struggles—her determination, insecurities, and fierce independence in a male-dominated profession. Her narrative is both witty and deeply human, capturing the resilience and artistry that made her one of the great performers of her generation. This Australian first edition will appeal to collectors of theatrical memoirs, admirers of classic stage history, and readers fascinated by the golden age of British and American theatre."
