Sir Ian McKellen has appeared in theatres around Britain and on television and film screens since the 1960s. Now, with his parts in the first two X-Men films and phenomenally successful The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he is known worldwide.
This fully up-to-date biography includes new interviews and covers McKellen's childhood, his time at Cambridge University with, among others Trevor Nunn and Derek Jacobi, roles in plays such as Henry V, The Seagull and Macbeth. McKellen's success on Broadway also led on to his ground-breaking work running The Actors' Company and the McKellen/Petherbridge Company. Also covering McKellen's advocacy of gay issues and his opinions against war, it gives a well-rounded view of on of Britain's greatest stage and screen actors.
