A Wee Bit Much


Dirk Bogarde, the wonderfully witty gay actor from England wrote nine autobiographies. Yes, folks... I said, nine. Even though I have great respect for his body of work, I think nine autobiographies is the height of arrogance and a wee bit much. To think that your own life and existence is worthy of nine excruciating long autobiographies...

Wow.


I have a feeling Mr. Bogarde had a very high opinion of himself and he should have taken up a hobby when he was living to cease his non-stop obsession with the mirror. Can we say, "Concentrating too hard on your own legacy" ?


I have a feeling only his editor read all nine anyhow.


I'm just saying...

9! Fucking hell. I imagine they get tedious around 5 or 6.

You can never get too much of Dirk Bogarde, one of my favourites, nice to see him get a mention!
He also found time to write six novels and star in about seventy films.
