This Deep Dive Review is from the memoirThere Ain’t No Rules In Rock n Roll by Kenny Denton, which provides an intimate look into the personal lives of entertainer Anthony Newley, his mother Grace, and his partner Gina Fratini. The narrative captures the vibrant spirit of Grace, affectionately known as "the Duchess", whose humour and Cockney charm remained constant until her death at age ninety-nine. Denton recounts significant final moments, such as a surreal dinner at a fish and chip shop and the emotional toll of Newley’s battle with renal cancer. The text highlights the deep bonds between the author’s family and the Newley’s, detailing how they supported Grace following her son's passing in 1999. Furthermore, it explores Newley’s complex artistic identity and his late-life reconciliation with Gina, a renowned fashion designer who became his dedicated carer. Ultimately, the sources serve as a poignant tribute to a unique family and the enduring friendships that spanned their final years.For the full story along with many more, are in my book “There Ain’t No Rules In Rock ’n’ Roll” is available from Amazon books, in paperback and Kindle.
