Hancock Sheila Miss Carter's War
It is 1948 and the young and beautiful Marguerite Carter has lost her parents and survived a terrifying war, working for the SOE behind enemy lines. She returns to England to be one of the first women to receive a degree from the University of Cambridge. Now she pins back her unruly auburn curls, draws a pencil seam up her legs, ties the laces on her sensible black shoes, and sets out towards her future as an English teacher in a girls' grammar school. Outside the classroom Britain is changing fast, and Miss Carter finds herself caught up in social upheaval, swept in and out of love and forging deep, enduring friendships.

Hancock Sheila Old Rage
A gloriously irreverent memoir from the frontline of old age - by the Sunday Times-bestselling author and legendary actor Sheila Hancock looked like she was managing old age. She had weathered and even thrived in widowhood, taking on acting roles that would have been demanding for a woman half her age. She had energy, friends, a devoted family, a lovely home. She could still remember her lines. So why, at 89, having sailed past supposedly disturbing milestones - 50, 70 even 80 - without a qualm, did she suddenly feel so furious? Shocking diagnoses, Brexit and bereavement seemed to knock her from every quarter. And that was before lockdown. Home alone, classified as 'extremely vulnerable', she finds herself yelling at the TV and talking to the pigeons. But she can at least take a good long look at life - her work and family, her beliefs (many of them the legacy of her wartime childhood) and, uncomfortable as it might be to face, her future. In Old Rage, one of Britain's best loved actors opens up about her ninth decade. Funny, feisty, honest, she makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life as a daughter, a sister, a mother, a widow, an actor, a friend and looks at a world so different from the wartime world of her childhood. And yet - despite age, despite rage - she finds there are always reasons for joy.

Hancock Sheila Old Rage
In 2016, Sheila Hancock sat down to write a book about a serene and fulfilled old age. This is not that book. In Old Rage, one of Britain's best-loved actors opens up about her tenth decade. Funny, feisty, honest, she makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life and takes an uncompromising look at a world so different from the one of her wartime childhood. And yet – despite age, despite rage – she finds there are always reasons for joy.

Then some of those charged with protecting the building are brutally murdered. Hancock must face his own demons and fears in his struggle to catch those responsible and bring them to justice...

V.S.O.P. - Hancock, Hubbard, Shorter, Carter, Williams (Виниловая пластинка)
V.S.O.P. — американский джазовый квинтет, состоящий из Херби Хэнкока (фортепиано, клавишные, синтезаторы и вокал), Уэйна Шортера (тенор-саксофон и сопрано-саксофон), Рона Картера (бас), Тони Уильямса (ударные) и Фредди Хаббарда (труба и флюгельгорн). Хэнкок, Шортер, Картер и Уильямс были участниками «Второго великого квинтета» Майлза Дэвиса в 1960-х годах. Название В. С. О. П. взято из сорта коньячного бренди.Группа впервые собралась вместе на джазовом фестивале в Ньюпорте в 1976 году, чтобы возглавить ретроспективный концерт Херби Хэнкока, в котором приняли участие воссоединившийся Квинтет Майлза Дэвиса (без Дэвиса, который годом ранее временно ушел из музыки) вместе с современными фьюжн-группами Хэнкока Mwandishi и Headhunters. V. S. O. P. впоследствии стала полурегулярной гастролирующей группой в конце 1970-х, записав несколько концертных альбомов, но также выпустила студийный альбом Five Stars в 1979 году. Ричард Гинелл из Allmusic предположил, что артистизм группы, возвращающийся к основам, помог заложить основу для Пост-боп 1980-х и возрождению джаза.V. S. O. P. - двойной концертный альбом 1977 года клавишника Херби Хэнкока, включающий акустические джазовые исполнения группы V. S. O. P, джаз-фьюжн/джаз-фанк-выступления группы «Мвандиши» (трубач Эдди Хендерсон, тромбонист Джулиан Пристер, флейтист Бенни Мопин, басист Бастер Уильямс и барабанщик Билли Харт) и The Headhunters (саксофонист Мопен, гитаристы Рэй Паркер-младший и Ва Ва Уотсон, бас-гитарист Пол Джексон, перкуссионист Кеннет Нэш и барабанщик Джеймс Леви).Концерт рекламировался как «Ретроспектива Херби Хэнкока», а Майлз Дэвис, который через несколько месяцев вышел на временную пенсию, рекламировался как играющий с V. S. O. P. (тем самым воссоздавая «Второй большой квинтет» Дэвиса впервые с 1968 года). По словам посетителей концерта, в ночь выступления на двери вестибюля была вывешена рукописная табличка, сообщавшая, что Дэвис не будет играть, но вместо него появится Хаббард.Треклист:A1 - One Of A KindA2 - Third PlaneA3 - DoloresB1 - DartsB2 - JessicaB3 - ByrdlikeСостояние пластинка/конверт: NM/VG+
