Nothing Like a Dame: My Story by Elaine C. Smith
In this heart-warming, candid memoir, Elaine C. Smith reflects on a 50-year journey that took her from being that lippy wee lassie growing up in a mining village in Lanarkshire to the celebrated performer we know and love today.
She recounts her determination to make it in a male-dominated, working-class Scotland at a time when women were not supposed to know their place - not least in the sexist world of theatre and television, where she was told, 'Look, women just aren't funny.'
As we all know, she stuck with it and went on to carve a stellar career in show business, becoming a household name thanks to her comic portrayal of Mary Doll Nesbitt, the long-suffering wife in the award-winning BBC comedy Rab C. Nesbitt. She is now one of Scotland's best-loved entertainers. Nothing Like a Dame is outspoken, hilarious and at times very sad - exactly what you would expect from the wonderful Elaine C. Smith. This is her story.
