Overview

What happens when you rummage through eighty years of pictures and memorabilia - from your work as an exhibited artist, to your modelling photos? For Annabelle Gregory, it becomes an extraordinary and memorable journey through a gritty, glamorous and gloriously unpredictable life. From her beginnings as a model working with legendary directors Cy Endfield and Dick Lester, to navigating the shadowy Soho nightclub scene, to her husband's path crossing with the notorious Kray twins, Annabelle's life has been anything but ordinary. Whether she's crashing a flame-painted hearse into a post box or appearing in five different television adverts during a single commercial break, her stories pulse with the energy of someone who has truly lived. The Art of Becoming is more than a memoir - it's a masterclass in finding beauty amid chaos. Each chapter springs from a piece of Annabelle's art, a photograph or some other artifact, transforming forgotten moments into vivid, honest, and often hilarious tales. With the eye of an artist and the heart of a storyteller, she weaves together eight decades of love, laughter and heartache into something unexpectedly profound.
