I’ve recently finished reading Jason Donovan‘s autobiography, Between the Lines: My Story Uncut. I bought a 2nd hand copy from Vinnies for $7, but later saw it brand new in a discount book store for even cheaper! Jason Donovan was one of my many teenage idols from the 80s. Remember him from the glory days of Neighbours? It really hasn’t been worth watching since Kylie left He had quite a few hit pop songs such as: Too Many Broken Hearts, Especially For You (with Kylie Minogue), Sealed With A Kiss, Any Dream Will Do, When You Come Back To Me and Nothing Can Divide Us.
His story is very interesting, as an innocent teenage girl, I always believed the story that Kylie and Jason were just friends, when really they were in a serious relationship for quite a few years. There is no way that would happen now with celebrity private lives becoming big business. He really dishes the dirt on their relationship and Kylie – such as, she liked to crochet! In the book, Jason is very honest and self-deprecating, especially the part when he describes being at a party and seeing Michael Hutchence cracking onto Kylie – the beginning of the end for them. He is very truthful about his drug addiction and recovery too. I was also interested in hearing his side of the story about the The Face libel case. It’s a good biography, if you were/still are a fan of Jason.
Did you know he was on Australian Story in 2001?
