But Ray’s was a less than stellar introduction to the glamorous world of television. Before he had even got to high school, he had lived in thirteen different places, in three Australian states, mostly in the bush. His father was a violent, drinking man who would lash out at his wife and children. His mother would uproot the family across to the other side of Australia to escape him. Ray’s world was as far away from Hollywood and movie stars and the bright lights as is possible to imagine.

Here, now, in his own words, is the long-awaited, warts-and-all autobiography of Ray Martin. His exceptional career, his happy marriage to Dianne, and his lasting love-affair with the people of Australia.

Funny, thought-provoking and inspiring, this is the most compelling autobiography you will read this year.
