The Amazing Mrs Shufflewick: The Life of Rex Jameson

by Patrick Newley
'One of the most intelligent and affectionate portraits of a star I have read. If ever a biography makes a character leap to life off the page, this one does.' (Eric Midwinter)

"Unforgettable. This biography with all the laughter and desperation is a must for the bookshelf of every entertainment afficianado."
- WYN CALVIN

"A great read. A book that is written eloquently and touchingly."
- ROBERT ELMS

"I read this book to find out more about the iconic Mrs Shufflewick, but I discovered the amazingly talented Rex Jameson. It's been a delightful journey. Pour a stiff one and read this book".
- MIKE WILKINS, Gay Times

"An affectionate memoir of one of the 20th century's great drag performers."
PETER BURTON - 3Sixty Magazine

"A truly wonderful book."
- BARRY CRYER

"I loved it!"
- VICTOR SPINETTI

"Patrick Newley has written a book which is almost as sad as it is funny and is immensely readable."
- JOHN WADE - Encore Magazine

"Newley interweaves the text with extracts from Shuff's scripts which are so skillfully written that one can imagine how Jameson played them and get a real flavour of what meeting Mrs Shufflewick was really like. For those who saw Mrs S live, this is a wonderful reminder of that talent and a fitting tribute clearly written with
great affection."
- TOM HOWARD - Rogues and Vagabonds

"A book that is both very funny and very sad. Patrick Newley is a superb anecdotalist, who does not fail us here."
- RICHARD ANTHONY BAKER - The Stage
