Amazon's reviewer :-

Paul Nicholas' life has been a roller coaster ride through the entertainment world since his Beatles-era days as a teenage rock band singer. He has flourished in musical theatre for more than three decades from playing the West End's first Jesus Christ Superstar to being the co-producer of the sell-out contemporary run of Saturday Night Fever. He is also one of Britain's most loved television stars - and was voted the nation's sexiest man. His role as Vince Pinner in Just Good Friends is regarded as a classic television character proved by the show's fifteen million weekly audience. It continues to be broadcast around the world - just as Paul Nicholas continues to delight TV audiences, on screen and in the theatre.

Behind the Smile looks backstage revealing Nicholas' influence on the theatre as a performer and producer and telling tales of behind-the-scenes antics and politics. It also uncovers the astonishing love story of this man for his four children, the woman he tragically lost and another who helped him rebuild all of their lives.

Never before has this unique entertainer told his full story. Here he tells it with great honesty in this extraordinary and emotional autobiography - for there are tears as well as laughter behind the smile.

Douglas Thompson is an international author and journalist. His books include the anthology Hollywood People and bestselling biographies of Madonna, Clint Eastwood, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dudley Moore, John Travolta and Leonardo DiCaprio.
