Ask a dozen people who knew ‘zany’ comedian Freddie Starr, “ What was he really like?” and you’ll receive a dozen different responses.
As the ghost-writer of his autobiography Freddie Starr: Unwrapped ( Virgin Books - 2001) I had privileged access to the comedian for over a year, here in the UK and at his luxurious Spanish home in the hills above Benalmadena. So, taking that into account, my opinion is as valid as anyone’s.
