A Little Bit of Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry in conversation with Anindita Ghose
Stephen Fry is one of the world's best-known actors and comedians. But when he arrived at Cambridge, he was a convicted thief, an addict and a failed suicide, convinced that he would be expelled. Instead, university life offered him love and the chance to entertain. He befriended bright young things like Hugh Laurie and actress Emma Thompson. Here, Fry talks about his life and work with 'Mint Lounge' editor Anindita Ghose as he tells the hilarious and compelling story of how he took his first step in the worlds of theatre, radio, television and film.
