Peter Keogh

Peter Keogh was born in rural Australia during the 1950s. Growing up in a religious family, where homosexuality was considered anathema, he struggled to come to terms with his true identity. He was also subject to physical and sexual abuse, which was to shape his later life. After a string of jobs, Peter moved to London where he met and worked with some of the biggest names in show business including comedy actress, Su Pollard, whom he married. For several years, Peter enjoyed the celebrity lifestyle, mixing with some of the most famous people of the day, including Princess Diana. After being accused of theft, Peter was also involved in one of the most publicised trials of the time. When his marriage to Su Pollard ended, Peter travelled to the USA, where he went on to work with many iconic stars, including film legend, Debbie Reynolds. Filling in the Gaps follows on from Peter’s first successful autobiography My Hi-De-High Life, and includes more tantalising details of a life well lived. Book publication has also opened up a new career for Peter as an author, with further projects in the pipeline. Finally able to publically acknowledge his homosexuality, Peter lives with his long-term partner, Sacha, in Australia.
