BOOK NEWS: Dear Fatty

51ajkeao9pl_sl500_aa240_We wrote a while ago about the fact that Dawn French was being paid in the region of £1.5million for her autobiography and now I've seen the title and the cover. (It's out in October.)

I have to say, I'm not wild about the title - Dear Fatty. We all know she's on the large side, no need to flog it. She looks beautiful on the cover though, don't you think?

BOOK NEWS: Dear Fatty - Comments

  • Keeley

    I have to back up what Sarah Newell posted - Dawn calls Jennifer Saunders "Fatty" as a pet name, so the title is a reference to their friendship, not Dawn&#39s weight.

  • Hannah

    The title is not a reference to Dawn herself but to Jennifer Saunders (her comedy partner), whom she has always addressed as "Fatty". Saunders recently confirmed this fact at the Oostende film festival.

  • One day in, and already I have nothing to talk about, lol! I&#39ll keep you posted... In other news, I&#39m actually really looking forward to reading Dawn&#39s book. x

  • Ooh, that&#39s a good idea. I&#39ve tried to do it before and I was amazed at how difficult it was. Good luck!

  • I like that she&#39s upfront about being fat -- it&#39s just a word, and it&#39s certainly attention-grabbing.



    I&#39m doing an experiment on not talking about women&#39s looks for a month, for a small feature, so no comment on whether she looks pretty or not ;) xx
