Overview
Written with the blessing of Bates' wife Virginia and his two
children, Ralph Bates: A Biography delves deep into the actor's
life from childhood and his beginning interest in theater at
school, to his tenure at Hammer Film Productions as one of
its rising stars, to his triumphs in television with lead roles in
Poldark and Dear John. This biography features 165 photos,
including many never-before-seen family photos. Besides his
well-known turns as the dark and brooding villain, readers
will also learn about his outside love of cricket and his desire
to perform comedy, which came to fruition during his multiple
tours with the production of Run for Your Wife In addition to
quotes from Bates from various interviews, over 70 original
author-acquired contributions from family, friends and
coworkers were gathered to give the most complete look at the
life of a much missed actor, husband, father and friend to many.
The author is donating all personal proceeds from sales of this
book to the Ralph Bates Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund,
which was created to honor Bates, who passed away from the
disease in 1991.
