| Summary |
Award-winning journalist Ray Martin is one Australia's most loved personalities. It seems he's been everywhere and met everybody, for 60 Minutes and a range of top-rating ABC and Channel 9 shows. So, who are his favourites? And what was Audrey Hepburn or Prince Charles or Madonna really like? That's what people always ask Ray and that's why he's written this book. Ray's Favourites bring together the most remarkable of these interviews, offering an intriguing insight into some truly extraordinary celebrities-Dustin Hoffman talking about sex, Jane Fonda talking about God, some poetry from R. |
