"Actor, director, producer, biographer, critic and journalist, Blundell established theatre companies and was there when they closed, watched the film industry through its many renaissances, and television as it became an addictive digital environment. In The Naked truth Blundell writes about Australian life in the 40s, 50s and on with the insight of someone who was always part of the action - whether he wanted to be or not. He also takes us into his life - the early years of truly independent Australian theatre, the wild local film industry in the 1970s, to the rise of local television programs."--Provided by publisher.
