The shocking, entertaining and quite extraordinary life of one of television's most outrageous and best-loved characters, Bernard King.
Australia's first true celebrity chef and infamous talent quest judge Bernard King led an extraordinary life. From his early years on a Queensland dairy farm to a long and successful stage and television career, King was the personality who divided the nation. Politically incorrect, outrageous and always razor-witted, it was impossible to feel ambivalent about him.
Drawing on exclusive final interviews just weeks before his tragic death, this biography documents Bernard's life and his loves, and tracks his career from its dizzying highs to its heartbreaking lows.
Bernard was notorious for being brutally frank throughout his life and, as this comprehensive and often salacious work reveals, he remained so until the end. Witty, acerbic and unblushingly honest, Bernard King the man and Bernard King the book make amusing and entertaining company at all times.
