Ray Martin’s Favourites bring together the most remarkable of these interviews, offering an intriguing insight into some truly extraordinary celebrities—Dustin Hoffman talking about sex, Jane Fonda talking about God, some poetry from Ronnie Biggs the Great Train Robber and some wisdom from Patrick Dodson, the father of reconciliation.
Here, too, are the last interviews with Sir Donald Bradman, Fred Hollows and Kerry Packer. The comedy brilliance of Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and Peter Cook. The studio body-language when Bob Hawke and Paul Keating came together for the first and only time.
Revealing, perceptive and inspiring, Ray Martin’s Favourites is compulsive reading.
