Three biographies of Finch appeared around the same time; this one had the advantage of a close personal connection, being written by Finch’s second wife. Yolande was a South African actor who met Finch in Durban when he was on his way
Very personal – Yolande doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to her husband’s drinking, possessiveness, or sexual kinks (he tried to get her into a threesome – we hear about one time she was kind of willing to go along with it with two hookers but he couldn’t get it up). She also gets stuck into his supposed feeling for black people, claiming it was racist at core. Bad natured but an invaluable additional insight into the man.
