Bruce Forsyth

Bruce Forsyth was born into a working-class Salvation Army family in Edmonton, North London in 1928. His parents encouraged his love for entertainment from the age of nine. At 14 he leaves the family garage business and sets off to become an entertainer.
With talents for singing, dancing, playing the accordion, ukulele and banjo, and a

natural comic timing, he spends years travelling the country, working seven days a week, doing summer seasons and pantomimes.

His gets his big break when, after being on TV with comedian Dickie Henderson, he is booked to compere 'Sunday Night At The London Palladium', for two weeks only. Proving an instant success, he is offered 36 more shows and, by the end of 1958, is one of the biggest stars on television.
40 years on in 2008 he is still a regular on our TV screens being the host of the hugely popular
Strictly Come Dancing for BBC1.

Bruce Forsyth Book: "Bruce: The Autobiography"
In this book, Bruce explains the driving force behind his fantastic ability to be able to do things like this, and why he continues even though many say he should have retired years ago. Bruce is a national institution in the UK and this book is a fantastic account of why he did it and how he succeeded. He introduced that fabulous thing he did at the beginning, where he took the pose of a muscle man, then almost tap danced down to centre stage. There was never a week that went by that he didn't do that, and he discusses this in the book.
