Kate rapidly became much in demand as an actor, and her critically acclaimed work, together with her razor-sharp wit and eye for detail, ensured that her profile soared.\n\nHer myth-making friendship with Patrick White is laid bare, along with her personal relationships with some of the world's most sought-after men. This book is by turns hilarious, turbulent, painfully truthful, and self-deprecating, and is an unashamed look at slices of Kate's colourful and brilliant careers, loves, and lives.\n\n\u003cem\u003eName Dropping\u003c\/em\u003e is a high-spirited memoir teeming with fascinating snippets and insights into other people and places.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46628043358444,"sku":"9780732274689","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19532973482448.jpg?v=1751898023"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/kate-fitzpatrick.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
