The year 1968 was one of the highpoints of Dudley Moore"s life. The pint-sized comedian, dubbed "Cuddly Dudley" by his brilliant satirist friend Peter Cook, had wowed London and Broadway in the groundbreaking review Beyond The Fringe. His film 30 Is A Dangerous Age, Cynthia had received rave reviews in New York, and he had just married his beautiful first wife, actress Suzy Kendall.
Although he had not yet achieved the heights of Hollywood stardom which would come later with films 10 and Arthur, at the age of 33 he already had it all.
How sad it is then that in a diary written in 1968 that has just come to light, Moore reveals that despite his riches, his fame and his beautiful wife, he remained desperately unhappy and obsessed by his supposed failure with women.
