Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins
Rupert Everett in conversation with Sandip Roy
An element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he swept to fame with his outstanding performance in Another Country. He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people and witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism, in Berlin the night the wall came down and in downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of 17, he was friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then he has been up close and personal with some of the most famous women in the world: Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Donatella Versace. A superb raconteur and a keen observer of human folly (especially his own), Everett turns his life into a captivating story of love, fame, glamour, gossip and drama.
