Joan Plowright was already a rising star when she met Olivier,then married to Vivien Leigh,who thanks to 'Gone with the Wind',was one of the country's best-known actresses.She recalls what began as an illicit romance by drawing on the love letters they wrote each other.
Here for the first time Joan Plowright talks intimately about life with Olivier - not always easy as she is the first to admit.Their marriage produced three children and a theatrical partnership that helped launch what became the National Theatre.The story of the ups and downs of the National's early years has never been told so frankly before.
With a host of good stories of a life devoted to acting,of fellow actors and directors from Orson Welles to David Niven,Maggie Smith to Richard Burton, Vanessa Redgrave to Kenneth Tynan,she also recalls a career that has continued to flourish in the years since Olivier's death.In 'And That's Not All' Joan Plowright reveals herself as a natural raconteur; her memoirs are a delight.
