Dave Prowse, aka Star Wars’ Darth Vadar, will be in Croydon to promote his long-awaited autobiography.
Prowse, who comes from Addiscombe, will be at Waterstone’s in Croydon on October 15 as part of a whirlwind tour of the UK.
In Straight from the Forces Mouth, Prowse, who stands at an imposing 6ft 7in, will give an insight into life working on one of the best-loved films of all time.
The 76-year-old also tells of his struggles in childhood, his time as a body builder and his stellar acting career, encompassing not only George Lucas’s cult sci-fi films but also A Clockwork Orange and The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
In 2000 he was made an MBE and has also battled with prostate cancer.
Straight from the Forces Mouth is now on sale and Prowse plans to be in Waterstone’s, the Whitgift Centre Croydon on October 15.
