Description: A Curious Career takes us from Lynn's early years as a journalist at Penthouse to her later more eminent role interrogating a huge cross-section of celebrities. It is full of glorious anecdotes - the interview with Salvador Dali that ended up lasting four days, or the drinking session with Shane MacGowan. It also contains eye-opening transcripts, such as her infamous interview with the hilarious and spectacularly rude Marianne Faithfull. A wonderfully frank and funny memoir by Britain's greatest and most ferocious interviewer, A Curious Career is also a fascinating window into the lives of celebrities and the changing world of journalism.
Notes: Adult.
