Award-winning journalist Ray Martin is one Australia's most loved personalities. It seems he's been everywhere and met everybody, for 60 Minutes and a range of top-rating ABC and Channel 9 shows. So, who are his favourites? And what was Audrey Hepburn or Prince Charles or Madonna really like? That's what people always ask Ray and that's why he's written this book. Ray's Favourites bring together the most remarkable of these interviews, offering an intriguing insight into some truly extraordinary celebrities-Dustin Hoffman talking about sex, Jane Fonda talking about God, some poetry from Ronnie Biggs the Great Train Robber and some wisdom from Patrick Dodson, the father of reconciliation. Here, too, are the last interviews with Sir Donald Bradman, Fred Hollows and Kerry Packer. The comedy brilliance of Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and Peter Cook. The studio body-language when Bob Hawke and Paul Keating came together for the first and only time. And much more. Revealing, perceptive and inspiring, Ray's Favourites is compulsive reading. Enjoy the journey.

Ray Martin began his career working for ABC radio in Sydney in 1965. After ten years in New York as a correspondent for the ABC's North American office, he moved back to Australia to launch 60 Minutes with George Negus and Ian Leslie. As host of The Midday Show, he won five Gold Logies, more than twenty Silver Logies and numerous People's Choice awards. In 1994 he left The Midday Show for the first of two stints as host of A Current Affair, before going on to host The Ray Martin Show.
