But that's what "Fiz" has done: delivering frank and intimate accounts of her not-always-peaceful collaborations with the brilliant figures she has worked with over the decades - on stage in London's West End, on screen, and in opera.
It's an amazing line-up: among performers, from Jack Hulbert, Cicely Courtneidge and George Formby to Barry Humphries, Alec Guinness, Laurence Olivier; among directors, Tony Richardson, John Schlesinger, and Stephen Frears; among writers, John Osborne and the legendary Beyond the Fringe team - Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, and Dudley Moore. Along the way we get musicians too: her husband Stanley Myers, composer of "Cavatina," the haunting theme from The Deerhunter, and the god-like maestro Herbert von Karajan.
Fiz's memoir offers a modest, frank, and often startlingly perceptive account of the delights and difficulties of working with some of the most brilliant - and utterly impossible - writers, directors, and performers of the last sixty years. Her true stories of professional relationships are funny, affectionate, sometimes searing; always enlightening about the agonies and ecstasies of what goes on behind the scenes.

Eleanor Fazan - known in the profession as "Fiz" - has covered the ground. Born in Kenya, as a teenager she came to London to train as a dancer at Sadlers Wells, and her career since then has taken her all over the world. It spans the decades and the disciplines too. As dancer, director, and choreographer, she has worked on stage and in film, television, and opera. Her shows in the West End included the hits Grab Me a Gondola, Blitz! and Beyond the Fringe; her film credits Tom Jones, Cold Comfort Farm, and Mrs Henderson Presents: her work in opera Salomé, the Ring cycle, and Otello (starring Placido Domingo).
Married to the composer Stanley Myers, her friendships and professional collaborations among dancers, actors, divas, and directors have given her a deep understanding of the artist at work. In 2013 Eleanor was awarded the O.B.E. for her services to dance.
