Mostly what you remember and enjoy are the scenes you played with people. And quite often, they're the combative scenes!
It was an extremely overdramatic play called 'Wild Decembers'. It was all about the Brontes, and they all, one after the other, died of tuberculosis. I remember taking every opportunity to cough over other people's lines.
It tends to be overlooked that many people are indirectly affected by thoughtless and cruel journalism.
In actual fact, I doubled 'Twelfth Night' and 'The Avengers'. I was going backwards and forwards to Stratford. I played matinees Wednesday, matinee and evenings Saturdays, and the other days of the week, I was filming in Elstree.
I cry all the time. Remembrance Day in particular. In fact, anything to do with veterans makes me sob.
I think I'm a mousepad. I don't want to be a mousepad, but I'm a mousepad. I'm also a screen saver, thank you very much. It's weird.
