The Last Gentleman,A Tribute to David Niven -Peter Haining

When David Niven died in 1983, the cinema lost its last gentleman actor. In a world full of sex symbols and superstars, Niven was unique: a witty, debonair figure,always immaculate in dress and behaviour, but with a suggestion of mischief lurking just behind his smile. In
his long career, he perfected the character of the gentleman-rogue, and was admired and loved by fellow
professionals around the world.But ‘Niv’ was also something more than an actor: he was a raconteur of some repute, and a lively selection of his stories and anecdotes which never found a place in his bestselling memoirs are included here. With many rare photographs and reminiscences from his friends, The
Last Gentleman is a handsome tribute to one of Hollywood’s best-loved actors.
